Travel to Chinatown by water taxi . Ping Tom Park by the Chicago River is the hidden gem in the community. The pavilion is one of the most attractive structures in Chinatown .
The park itself is nice; however I wouldn't make the trip just for it. Although, I 100% would make the trip to hop on the water taxi and ride it down to Michigan Avenue for $6!
absolutely love this park ! Rent kayaks from the REI boathouse, enjoy one of the best views in the city , and explore Chinatown !
Beautiful place for a picnic or bird feeding. Small playground for children and also a stop on the water taxi tour
There is a pair of railroad tracks that run close to the children's playground . Also, the Orange Line comes thundering overhead every 5-10 minutes.
Rent a kayak from the "Urban Kayak " stand (just east of the pagoda/water taxi stop) and explore the Chicago River on your own.
A true hidden ???? Well worth the walk.
Among the Park’s cool features are a pagoda-shaped pavilion , where you can catch a water taxi to downtown Chicago, and a unique railroad drawbridge. Read more
[Ernie Wong, Site Design Group, 1999] Ping Tom Park , a former railway site, is the first of several planned riverfront parks south of Chicago "Loop".
Bring your camera ! It’s a great place to catch the Water Taxi into the city !
This is a super charming park in which to while away the time! Absolutely wonderful!
the outfield can be quite entertaining; if the softball ever takes a 90 degree turn or flips up 3 ft from a divot, chalk it up to "welcome to ping tom" Read more

Catch the water taxi to the heart of downtown (Michigan ave) from here...
