As a Chicago Hyde Park native, learning about the London Hyde Park as a child really messed with me. “Why would they name a big park after my neighborhood?”

There’s a Hyde Park in New York too, isn’t there?

Who the fuck is Hyde and why do we keep naming parks after him?

The big park in Sydney is also Hyde Park. It’s like a town planner meme or something.
