A beautiful park on an artificial island on the lake . It has one of the best views of the Chicago skyline. Not only that, there is a lagoon at the south end. No boats can fit under the bridge , though.

Kate H.

Beautiful nature park with breathtaking views of the city . The path is about a mile long, if you take the southernmost portion.

Jonathan Ferrera

A gorgeous park for running and biking . Since the lagoon connects to the lake , fishing will also be an attraction . No boating, though. The bridge is too low to let anything through.

Diana Friess

Find one of the best views of the Chicago skyline from this gem, tucked away behind Soldier Field , one of the most beautiful parks in the state . Great place for a walk, bike ride or jog with nature.

Dieter Kiesel

Chicago may have created the skyscraper , but tucked away behind Soldier Field , you'll find one of the most beautiful parks in the state . Keep your eyes open and maybe you'll spot a furry friend.

Allison Kaminski

Am yet another scenic view of the city . Kind of a hike from the city but totally worth it
