 Historically the preserve of the monarch , the park is now open for all to use and includes a golf course and other facilities for sport and recreation . It played an important role in both world wars and in the 1948 and 2012 Olympics .

 The Games have grown so much that nearly every nation is now represented . This growth has created numerous challenges and controversies , including boycotts , doping , bribery , and a terrorist attack in 1972 . Every two years the Olympics and its media exposure provide unknown athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame . The Games also constitute an opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world .

 Additional details about the plan included new permanent hockey fields , use of Jones Armory , and new pedestrian juncture between the two halves of the park by tunneling part of Morgan Drive ( 55th ) . A later December 2008 plan added the olympic swimming venue to the park . The plan faced opposition from those holding the view that Washington Park 's listing on the National Register of Historic Places could not have survived the execution of this Olympic plan . In addition to the opposition , the plan faced constraints because of the park 's landmark status , which precluded federal money from being used to build a temporary stadium in the park . The decision , in October 2009 , to award the 2016 Summer Games to Rio de Janeiro halted these plans .

 The Olympic Stadium would have been built in Washington Park , a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the Washington Park community area of the same name on the city 's south side . Chicago initially proposed building a temporary 80 @,@ 000 @-@ seat track stadium adjacent to Soldier Field and having the two stadiums host dual Opening and Closing Ceremonies . However , the final proposal called for a $ 366 million temporary stadium to be built in Washington Park . The stadium would have been replaced by a 10 @,@ 000 seat multi @-@ use venue after the games . The smaller post @-@ Olympic stadium would have been more in line with public interest in restoring the historic park after the games . The new stadium would have featured a high @-@ tech reflective sheathing material to accommodate huge TV picture projections on its outside walls . The temporary stadium would not have had concessions inside the stadium , unlike permanent local venues , although concessions were planned outside the stadium . The stadium would have featured a basic oval shape , but it would also have adhered to Olympic design rules which dictate that there must be an overhanging lip at one end to cover dignitaries and the media . IOC president Jacques Rogge praised Chicago 's design in November 2007 as a possible " blueprint for the future " , reflecting the desire of the IOC to make the games both more affordable and to have a smaller ecological footprint on the host city .

 The Olympic Village for housing athletes during the games would have been a $ 1 @.@ 1 @-@ billion series of newly constructed lakefront buildings that would have been converted to rental and condominium units after the games . The village was to be located immediately south of McCormick Place , which was expected to host 11 event venues , on a current truck parking lot between South Lake Shore Drive and the Illinois Central Railroad tracks in the Near South Side and Douglas community areas . At the time , the parking lot was being used to stage events at McCormick Place . The village was slated to have pedways over Lake Shore Drive . This location was meant to enable 88 % of the Olympic athletes to be within 15 minutes of their competition venue .
