There are garbage & recycling bins. dispose of your hot charcoals in the metal bins, throw away your chicken carcasses, napkins, water bottles and cans. Let’s clean up after ourselves.

Good spot to run/walk/bike. lots of dogs & frisbee playing on the great lawn. Perfect for a summer/autumn picnic. Several fire pits available. The field house is cozy for an intimate wedding too.

I love running along the lake from 57th Street near the Promitory Point through the 31st Street exit and back. It's incredibly beautiful at sunset (and sunrise!).

Great location to walk, bike and hike, plus you have a great lovely view of the city of Chicago.

A meandering path near the lake. It was nice at night, I'd like to go back and see it during the day.
