They've xerascaped large sections of the park with Prairie grasses and shrubs, making it very hospitable to wildlife , especially on summer evenings.

Stacy Bo Bacy

Beautiful, spacious park . Perfect spot to go for a walk, run, have a picnic , enjoy the sunset , and more. Two baseball fields , tennis courts , and all well maintained.

Bobby Kennedy

One of the largest and most beautiful parks in this part of the city . Great for a summer stroll.

40 acres of terrain features a fitness center , track and field , cross training and more. The park is home to the Chicago United Runners and various community clubs that run the trails year round.

Great park with nature trails , multiple sports fields , a tennis court , and (unofficial) DFAs. Usually full of locals pick nicking, playing sports , or power walking

Andrew White

Beautiful prairie flowers . Hidden paths. Great family park .

PB Brown

One of the nicest parks I've ever been in. When the wildflowers are in bloom late spring/early summer in the natural prairie areas is the best.

Visit us after a day of exercise for some filling Mediterranean or Greek food ! Check in on Foursquare for some cheap eats.

Great playground . A lot of green space for dogs to run. Nice oasis in the city .

It's great for running, exercising and dog-walking, and it's very safe.

Head over after your day at the park for some hummus , baba ganoush , gyros or coucous. Get $10 off the purchase of 2 entrees with your 1st Foursquare check-in.

An island of prairie tranquility in the heart of Chicago

love the wilderness areas in this park . good for biking !

People are really bad at this park about letting dogs run off leash and in prohibited areas (tennis courts ).

Stephen Hall

This is not the park for dog owners who want to let their dog off-leash. The rules are clear. It is illegal. Go to a different park if that's what you want.

Heidi Wolff

Just saw the most amazing firework show ever here, I'll be going for the rest of my life!

Samantha Powers

They're just kidding about that no dogs off leash sign. Go on, do it.

Jenika Faes

$300 a pop for dogs off leashes . Try the dog beach at Foster or Montrose!

Will Farina

.25mi track closes at 8pm, then Nov-March at 6pm.

An unofficial dog park . You 'can' let your dog off leash , be careful it's not legal, but the police won't hassle you if you clean up poop, stay out of the forbidden areas
