ARC MUSIC Festival review: Pros: Close to the city Amazing production World class DJs Good chill crowd A lot of restrooms and porta potties Cons: - The security sucks. They will search everywhere. Instea of being worried about the ongoing pickpocket crime rings that target people at festivals, they are worried about a couple of joints and other stuff. Protect your stuff from security - A lot of pickpockets at this festival. Be super careful. Hold in to your phones - This is a very very small park for such a popular festival. Seeing Eric Prydz at this festival was a nightmare - This festival is extremely over crowded due to the small area of the park

Beach and City scape. Shiny, happy people holding hands.

Very big park in a great location that is great for community gatherings. It can use some upgrades to the baseball fields, playgrounds, and swimming pool. It is easy to get to because it's on a major street artery, and it is right under the Ashland stop for the Green/Pink Line. It could use one more basketball court, and some more upkeep when it comes to concerts and festivals. Parking is very scarce over here so please be patient or take public transportation.

easy parking. nice place could spend here all day long

I had never been to Chicago before this event at Union Park. Had a lot of fun. It had rained the previous day but the volunteers wprked relatively hard to put down as much sand as they could in the puddles and whatnot. after a music wvent there a lot of trash and recyclables just lying arpund but im sure the clean up crew did a great jpb

Nice big park close to a bunch of nice restaurants. Easily accessible by public transportation. Car parking might be a challenge.

Pitchfork 2021 was hosted at this park. The concert was fantastic, and the park fulfilled its purposes. There is ample open space, and a plentiful amount of trees that keep the skyline looking lush and green. The downside was the dirt. It was dusty, black, and stuck to you as you walked through the park. You will definitely need to shower after coming here. The grass is all dead, and the straw that remains does get everywhere as well. Overall the park is beautiful to look at, just don't run around too much.

OMG the March for Our Lives on March 24, 2018. These kids are amazing. The program was absolutely outstanding -- speakers and performers are listed on the March for our lives Chicago facebook page. I was in tears at least half the time. And the park was set up perfectly for this special event. Big TVs, and porta potties even!

I have been here twice for Common’s Aahh Fest in 2014 & 2016. Had a blast

Pretty nice park wedged between two busy streets. More for sports than a quiet stroll. Has tennis and basketball courts, gym and pool, and baseball diamonds. Some garbage scattered about but not too bad. Has a great jungle gym for kids

Union place is a beautiful Park to take your kids my big baby loves going to the park and hanging out with other kids

The event, the ARC Music Festival was Great !!

Attended ARC Music Festival! Great experience!

So pleasant. Great place to hang with people and pups!

Went here for the May Day rally and march, all power to the people!

Union Park is an awesome city park. It's the home of Pitchfork!

I love the events here. Right in the heart of things. Plenty surrounding restaurants, down the street from the United Center. A thriving area!

Lots of fun and safe for dogs too.

I love the occasions here. Solidly in the core of things. Bounty encompassing cafés, down the road from the United Center. A flourishing region!

I had a great wonderful Henry Horner reunion, loved it..

Favorite chicago music fest venue. Pitchfork is the glittering jewel of summer music in Chicago, and this park is it's shimmering sterling silver mount.
