  This is one of the most beautiful parks in all of Chicago. It's very modern with a nostalgic feel. It's very close to the lake which makes it an all around experience. This is one of the only public areas I know that offers rock wall climbing and has an expansive trail for skating, scooting, cycling, jogging and whatever else you can think of. It also has a lovely garden that's great for photos and blog posts. Located next to Chicago's also famous Millennium Park you can make one trip and get the best of both worlds.

  Great overall experience. There was so much to do, and a desire to do all of it. The playground was especially fun for the children, and the creativity shines through the park. However, the allowed ages could have been more enforced. On some playgrounds, only certain ages could go in. But, it seemed as though the rule was ignored. Besides that, the park was very fun and amusing. It is definitely one of the best spots in Chicago, especially for children.
