Being outdoors gives us opportunity to focus on the wonderful creation of nature, we often take for granted. The rat race of survival and the pursuit of success often causes us to ignore the God given natural environment around us. This lockdown does cause us to slow down and absorb more experiences we otherwise bypass. Going to the park is a simple inexpensive valuable experience

Ive taken a date and Ive walked the Burnham Park with my goddaughter. .. Ive even gone for work events. This is a beautiful place and worth checking out. Dont plan to spend a full day unless you plan to enjoy a book while sitting in the outdoor garden. Otherwise, Id say its about 60 minutes to casually walk through the entire place.

Definetely a place to be , was here 2 weeks ago and will definitely come back as many times I want . Great views , perfect to take pictures and have good memories.

I live on the northside but enjoy visiting southshore beaches and parks. Not too crowded so more peaceful and quiet. Really love it there.

Good spot for walking along the lakefront.

If you ever need motivation to get your workouts done in the wee hours of the morning....this is the best place to be!! I love the cool breeze, fresh air, sunrise, boats on the water...cant beat the view and the STAIRS are to die for

One of the best spots along the amazing Chicago lakefront! Is easily accessible by multiple modes of transportation, has basic facilities at the beach houses, and tends to be very quiet actually on a weekend morning! Lovely park & beach!

Amazing views. Great place to take a walk.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful spots on the south shore!

This is a busy park Always humming with work out enthusiastic folks! Great for those who need motivation.

Great place. Prom point fire swimming. Easy access cool daddyio.

Great Lakefront Park Awesome vibe in Hyde Park. Good for walking and biking!!

Loved watching the lake and it was a cool place to be and see other people having a great time

Very pretty area, a lot of space to relax in. The view of the city is very good, and there is a beach and grassy areas along the shore.

I bike through here all the time. Its so relaxing and beautiful. The perfect place to melt the daily stress away. The birds, the moody lake, the greenery and plenty of space to sit and enjoy a bit of heaven.

Very nice. Relatively clean. Tranquil.

Love this park . walking scenere beautiful skys .. Beautiful water

Beautiful lakeside park with gorgeous view of the city.

Great view of the city, but still a quiet spot on the lake to stop.

Even with all the craziness going on here in the city still it was nice and relaxing walk families were out walking with your children in their animals bike riding and jogging water fall was off behind McCormick Place little disappointed but understandable I dont know what a great afternoon

Beautiful scenario and the weather was just right. Great place to meet friends, jog, run, walk or sit and just enjoy!!!

I love coming here to walk my dog and to take in some fresh air and sunshine. It is a good place to come for some meditation, boat watching, even fishing. Ive even seen some young couples bring pillows and blankets to have a nice little picnic . Oh yeah and it doesnt matter what time of the year its a beautiful site, just dress warmly in the winter

Great views of city of Chicago and Indiana cities near Lake Michigan

Work There If you Visit the lake front youll see why

My family picnic was here and the spaces was available to reserve on fairly short notice (4 month). Decent facility near restrooms with a lake view. No, electric outlets at out area. Goose poop was everywhere. Could be better maintained.

Great for summer walks in the park with your wife or girlfriend

A public park in Chicago, The park, which lies along Lake Michigan shoreline, connects Grant Park to Jackson Park. Great path to walk or run right by the lake front. Anytime of the sunny day its always beautiful and peaceful.

Beautiful. Great for walking, biking, running, or just chilling...

Large park with good views of the Chicago skyline. This is a relaxing place to have a picnic and take a break for an hour or two while still being near many of Chicagos great attractions such as the Field Museum.

Very nice I wish the beach was open

Wonderful place to visit. Spend days outside with family and friends. Plenty of wildlife.

So good beginning of June to be there

A nice patch of nature along the Lake Shore Trail. There is a beautiful walking trail of about a quarter-mile long, flanked by flowers on both sides. When you are on the trail, it feels like you are far away from the bustle of the city. I have to thank the city of Chicago for doing such a wonderful job in creating this park.

Beautiful walkway and park adjacent to the lake.

Nice early morning walk, peaceful setting,, beautiful sunrise, open fire pits, must bring your on wood for fire pit. I counted 12 pit. One pit can seat about 9 couples.Or you can just set at lake bay and listen to the water wave hitting against the rocks

Quite and lots of space, easy to access bathrooms

Locally known as The Promontory Point, or simply The Point, it is a gem of the city. One of the best kept secrets of the South Side lakefront. A beautiful Vista of the city from the south along with great areas for swimming, lounging, barbecuing, and playing.

Great place to be Early in the morning

Could spend all day admiring the city

Great park with solid views and plenty of places to sit

In and out these guys know there jobs

Awesome view, relaxing, family friendly atmosphere.

Quiet, sunny, great day spot; best during working hrs. Of others!!

One of my favs to just enjoy the lake

Great Day to be out and i Love my city the people and places are great.Chicago #1

Came out on a rainy day for a great cause. The Sickle Cell walk,bike,jog a thon.

The waves were massive yesterday! High winds plus the crashing waves threw lots of ocean mist. Very cool to walk along the paved trails down to the sand beach.

Beautiful view in the morning and so relaxing

A nice patch of nature along the Lake Shore Trail. The place had been restored to native vegetation. It is now visited by many birds and butterflies. There is a beautiful walking trail of about a quarter mile long, flanked by flowers on both sides. When you are on the trail, it feels like you are far away from the bustle of the city. I have to thank the city of Chicago for doing such a wonderful job in creating this park.

The park was dirty with trash, but otherwise nice.

Very cool place to go for outing with friends and family. The view was nice with fresh atmosphere. I like this place because of their positive vibes i feel.Many people come for fun. Perfect place for chill

Beautiful and peaceful. :)

We visited here last weekend and I must say that this is one of my favourite parks in Chicago. The air is fresh and the area is big.

Great nice and Clean. Life Guard on the beach ☆☆☆☆☆

Very nice place to relax and meditate. Love this place fresh air and sunshine

Nice place. E careful. You can die, as it’s slippery as hell.

Rode my bike all the way down from the north side. It was fun and this park is where I stopped caught my breath and turned around. I was amazed and relieved to find it virtually empty compared to all of the other beach fronts. I highly recommend going the distance to this spot to beat the crowd and enjoy the lake!

Parking was easy. Met here for a work building day. Had a great time. Beautiful place

One of the many beautiful, lakefront parks in Chicago. Great place to ride the lakefront trail with about 1000x less traffic than any section North of the McCormick Center

Very beautiful place to walk, run, and just sit an enjoy the breeze off the lake.

Great place to go and chill.

A place to detach from the rat race without leaving the city.

Best view of Chicago skyline.

Beautiful view, fresh air, exercise area

Whats not to love! The museums, the water, bike rentals, flowers, food!!! I wish we could have spent more time exploring the park.

Nice peaceful in morning hours. Good walking path.

Doesnt get much better than this. Great park in the best city in the world.

Fabulous hidden treasure! The tiled Moraga steps are beautiful enough, but climb them and another couple hundred to the top. The summit of Grand View Park is tiny, but offers spectacular views completely across the SF peninsula. Often bathed in fog, but get there on a clear day and wow!

As part of the community service team I helped pick up garbage. Great place for boat watching and fishing!

One of the best places. Lots of good memories.

Have not been here in awhile, but its real relaxing here. At night its even better just go when its Open to avoid issues.I cant remember I believe you can fish here BUT you will be asked if you have a license the police are on it with fishing!

Love to run here and think about my future. Really enjoying this park. Nice restrooms. Nice to get together here as well

The field museum was awesome!! I cant wait to go back!!! On a other note, it is not listed but there is basic admission for $22. It is a great deal and there is plenty to see just having the basic admission. The other great way to save is the city pass if you have 3 or more days to do everything. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes because there will be alot of walking :)

Nice spot for running, biking, and walking!

Usually came here for a morning walk. Peaceful and was always clean. Watching the sunrise or sunset was the best.

Nice park to walk and run.

Get outside alone or with friends. Enjoy tge sun & life

Lovely spot to picnic, walk or bike.

Absolutely love the views here!

Very pretty smaller sized beaches that seem less hectic than Oak St. Beach and would be great in the morning for the younger set. Use public transportation or the Navy Pier garages as this small strip of beach runs along the north side of the pier just east of Lake Shore Drive.

Beautiful Chicago lakeshore park

Its amazing to see chicago city from burnham park at the evening color lights and pleasant melody songs background! Those majestic Sky deck and beautiful Michigan lake is fascinating!

This is by far a must see for you.

Very beautiful park beside the lake Michigan. Plenty place to walk, jogging, biking etc. Close to lake shore drive and highway. Only issue may be lacking of public building like restroom?

Nice beach with lots of space. Diverse crowd. Good to go with kids. Had restrooms, play grounds and life guard.

Burnham Park is a large park in Chicago linking Grant Park to Jackson Park. I would say that this park is great for sports or to take beautiful pictures of nature and the sea.

Nice not packed beautiful scenery and you can run and excercise.

Great park

Beautiful place

Beautiful area of the city. I love going here because it is quiet and tranquil. Great place to meditate.

A little cold and icy during the polar vortex

If you are downtown looking for quick fix Chicagoan foodie fix, this is your best bet. Als is not far, but this Portillos has a drive thru... :^)

It was nice and hott

Peaceful place to get your thoughts together.

Such a beautiful and peaceful view. Love riding my bike south of the city.

The newer natural areas here are a great addition to the lake view.

They need to take better care of this park. It’s beautiful and historic, but the fire pits are not maintained properly and can be a dangerous.

Gorgeous area. Less crowded than other green space in the city, so it’s lovely for a Saturday afternoon!

Nice place and one can sit and enjoy the nature. Can see the entire skyline from here.

We had a nice quiet walk here. Beautiful
