    What a great gift to the city! If you are a runner, there is a 400-meter track for speed work.

    Beautiful park, walking distance from the lake, gorgeous architecture with an amazing mix of old and new, flower sculptures that catch the daylight in such a way that they look like they're glowing (the picture does not do them justice despite me trying to capture what they actually look like). What's not to love?

    I get to walk at this park, which has a track, everyday on lunch and its great to have a beautiful place to stretch the legs so close to the office! So many people come out on nice days - great park!

    This is such a cute park area with a lot of fenced in space! Perfect place to take your dogs for some fetch. I love how they have a LittleFreeLibrary that is used daily and that they have a track and workout equipment. Beautiful park and I only wish I lived closer!

    My name is Yevgen Chornenkyy, and I whole heatedly endorse this parc. How can you not? How can you give it anything less than 5 of 5 stars. It is true to its name, not only is it a Park, it is also on the Lake Shore. Already a 5/5. Amazing and strong name! However, it goes so much deeper than that. It provides ready access to fitness and wellness opportunities and make you TooFitToQuit. Once, you become Too Fit To Quit (TFTQ), there is no turning back. This parc provides a 400 m track, BOOM. A Gym, BOOM An outdoor gym so you can flex with your shirt off in the summer time, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It also recently added a outdoor resistance training equipment! BOOM It is also maintained by the wonderful local Chicago Community! So when you're out there dying in the throes of your brutal workout, pushing beyond your limits on your sprint, and having a near death experience, with 911 Northwestern Emergency Department on speed-dial ready to go.. you get to enjoy the beautiful flower gardens as you’re serenaded by the wonderful barkers of the puppers and doggos all around you. As you pass out lol. Lol jk. Hope you had fun reading this review. I write other fun reviews, check them out and check me out in PubMed to my publications and my future upcoming short stories book - Available on Amazon within 6 months to 2 years. Cheers and XOXO, -Yev #TooFitToQuit

    It was really nice getting to visit this park. I had no idea there were exercise stations set up along the track, but it is clean and pleasant with benches to sit on. It's a fantastic place to visit for a picnic or to simply unwind if not to exercise.

    The park is stretched from Chicago downtown to the Sheridan Kathy Ostermen Beach..you have lots of beaches and parks inbetween and lots of status and art work representing American Art, history and culture..If you walk leasurly it will take 2 hours for you to complete the whole stretch. Which is very nicely built with walking and cycling path separate.

    Nice running track and area to bring ur dog!

  • 5/5 Braxton B. 1 year ago on Google
    You can take a nice walk/run on the track at this park. The new workout stations are also a nice feature for this park. The grass field is a great place for your dogs to run around and play in. Beautiful park!

  • 5/5 Bryce B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, pull up & dip bars, tennis courts, and a jogging or walking track. Couldn't ask for more right downtown!

  • 1/5 Greg W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointed that they Place cheep looking workout machines where the tables were. The equipment should have been placed on the South end of the tennis courts. They absolutely took the relaxing feeling from the park.

  • 5/5 Chris G. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park with a kids playground and a running track. Also has a tunnel which safely gets you across lake shore drive to the lakefront.
