    There are so many amazing events in the Summer like Movies in the Park. Yoga, the Sunday Farmers Market, Open Mics and more. And they're all free!

    An off the beaten path fashionable neighborhood that has plenty of shopping, dining, nightlife & scenic walking opportunities. I'm a little partial to all of the coffee shops there are! A must visit.

    Just east of Wicker Park’s fountain, the chilly spot has hours determined by Mother Nature: When the water is frozen, the rink will be open. For warm sips, head to the nearby Mindy’s Hot Chocolate. Read more

    Fun place to hang out outside. Busy and happening, always good people watching. Also some quiet areas to sit and read.

    What a nice park. A gated area around the playground, big fields for outdoor games, a fountain w/flowers around&benches for relaxing/reading, chess/checkers tables, picnic tables. Good job.

    The fountain is beautiful and the cement around it is a perfect place to bring sidewalk chalk and doodle.

    I remember the good old days of open air drug markets and gang wars... That was before that hipster John Cusack attracted MTV's The Real World here to gentrify the area.

    This place gets surprisingly crowded on beautiful days with people relaxing about.

    Nice landscaping but full of trash and homeless people. Too edgy. Don't bother. Chicagoans don't care enough about their parks to take care of them.

    Be careful of the rainbow bike guy - he touches you and then makes excuses. LADIES, STAY CLEAR.
