What the heck, I'll do it now.

23rd Street Grounds

Just about no information available. It's reported the outfield dimensions were "short", and this barely passes as a photo: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&sour...54069215715081

Lake Front Park (1878-1884)

Dimensions: The only just about confirmed dimensions of the park is that right field was ridiculously short at 190-200 feet. Balls hit over the right field fence were called ground rule doubles until 1884, when HRs spiked that season for Chicago. Nothing else is confirmed, but my guesses on other dimensions is 220-250 feet in left and 430-490 in center.

West Side Park 1885-1890

Dimensions: 216 in right, 560 in center. The left field dimensions are unknown, but considering the property, left field was probably very similar to left, probably about 215-240 feet.

South Side Park (1891-1893)

Just about no information available. The dimensions were most likely dissimilar to the following South Side Park, as it was located on a different property.
