    A great, free place to sled and snow in the Chicago winters. Likewise suitable for beginners for snow skiing. It is also suitable for very small children under 5 years old because it has a lower slope than the rest of the Chicago hills. In this hill, the sleds are not very fast, and also the hill path is not very rough and is suitable for children. To go to the hill, be sure to wear warm clothes because it is usually very windy there. The hills are usually crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. There is lot of parking space around the hill and do not worry about parking your car.

    Best spot in Chicago for a (slightly) elevated view of the skyline. Great for sunsets too.

    Snappy, tasty and messy. The classic Chicago dog. Try the chili cheese dog too. Also - do not miss out on the best crinkle cut fries in the city. AND of Course — chocolate cake. Even if you don’t like chocolate cake, you’ll like this one!

    Cute little park, we came for the Kite Festival. There is adequate parking and it's just across from Lake Michigan with nice views of the lake and part of the sky line.

    This is one of the best places to go in Chicago, if you haven't please don't come here it doesn't need you here. However if you do come here you will love it that's it that's all I got to say have a great day.

    A great spot for a relaxing walk. Nice southerly view of the Chicago skyline. Busy on a snow day or when it’s inter-mural soccer/football season.

    Cricket hill located near Harbour is the perfect picnic place. It not only gives city’s view also it’s also provides space to the budding as well as seasoned cricketers, skaters and baseball players.

    Some of the best views back on the city skyline.

    We went here during the annual kite festival and kids enjoyed a lot.

    Great place in the city to ride a mountain bike. Can get some nice speed on the descent. I come here when there's no time to drive out to the trails for a quick workout

    Just a lump of dirt, could have been taller. Barren at the summit.
