Please respect what the Lincoln Park Zoo has done to create this space, and what they continue to do, to preserve, protect, and promote nature...Keep your dogs on leash; this is NOT a dog park !

Kimberly Wolfson

One of my favorite spots in Chicago. I take a lot of walks through this boardwalk. It's a good place to collect my thoughts, meditate , check out amazing views of Chicago, and soak up the sun.

Chicago's beautiful South Pond . A wonderful place for a stroll to see turtles , bluegill, herons , and ducks. It really bursts to life in the summer.

Kevin Dudley

This is a beautiful place to enjoy nature in the middle of the city .

Daniel Ley

A wonderful, peaceful walk around the water. Great photo opportunities in the large structure .

Training tip: Cross North Ave. bridge from the beach to the lagoon to avoid the massive crowds of summertime cyclists, runners, and tourists (unless of course you enjoy dodging traffic left & right)!

You'll be amazed at the variety of bird species if you take the time to sit quietly and watch. A beautiful area!

Hazel Garcia Cristan

A Park worker told me the composite boards get very HOT ... especially on days with no cloud cover ... so avoid walking your dog here on very hot sunny days to protect his paws.

Terrass Misher

Great place to have a picnic , walk to the zoo , or walk to the lake

Don't feed the Ducks.

Gabe Reyes

Don't go near the herons ! They're trying to learn how to fly and it disturbs their learning process!
