This park is small but has something for everyone. A walk along the river, hills for picnics, a lot of benches for reading, a dog park, a playground for kids and it is near restaurants.
Nice views of the Chicago River, though the smell can be a bit upsetting. The park itself is very beautiful. Dogs are only allowed in a fenced-off dog park.
Park #511, so aptly named because there are obviously 511 things to love about this place, including: dog park, waterfront view, hills, windy paths etc.
Expanded park reopened 7/19/12 with more swings, patio tables w/shade covers, and large half dome climbing structures. Renamed Montgomery Ward Park. Finally! They got it right this time.
