Wonderful community resource and big, green, open space in the middle of Hyde park. I love taking the kids here to run around in the grass, go to the skating rink in the winter, play on the statue. the fact that it is recessed in to the ground actually makes it a lot of fun!

I cannot believe this lovely little park called Garden of the Phoenix is here for all to enjoy. It is very pretty and so quiet. We found parking near 5900 S. Stoney Island then walked East for 6 minutes. We also walked along the paths and saw the museum nearby. There is a busy street, so be careful.

One of the cities eldest park. The memories here are emphatic beyond pleasure, fun, relaxation; all just a spritz from Hm’; -to be @ love @ this place is to know (you’re) Hm

It's my first time ice skating it was fine for me.

It’s a nice enough park, but it’s fairly noisy due to the traffic on both sides and it’s often flooded and/or littered with trash. Skating rink is lovely in the winters.

Visited this location for the Hyde Park Summer Fest. Really enjoyed my self nice set up and a variety of different vendors and food trucks to choose from. There’s was a long walk to the gate entrance and you should most definitely bring a lawn chair. Overall experience was good.

Perfect place for ice skating in the snow!! Aside from the gentrification in the area and overload of white families an their ungrateful spoiled non mask wearing kids (some).

My high school class picnic is held 6 it was good to see people who I haven't seen in years. This venue held all the people that attended. I love it.

It's basically a park, good for sledding in the winter and picnics in the summer. You have to set up your own grills and picnic tables, though.

Went to Bantu Fest 2023. Always a good time at the Midway Plaisance Park. Love this International Fest l, I try to go every year for the food, fun, music and just overall vibe.

Was there for a Caribbean festival, cool vibe and a different part of Chicago, of the beaten path. Worth spending a day exploring and University of Chicago is a must see

We had a blast!!! The weather was perfect and the people we met up with were hilarious and fun. The rink is well maintained. There's a mix of skaters out there so there's plenty to see. Holiday music playing added a nice touch!! $7 (to rent skates), otherwise its FREE. You DO need to reserve your space (s) via the Chicago Park District website. Timed admission kept the rink from getting overcrowded. 🐾💙🐾

A lovely park. We went for the jazz festival and it was a great venue for outdoor music. I hope they do it again next year

Love this location, Utsav beautiful during FALL/WINTER. I'm always a vendor for the Jazz Festival

Beautiful park setting for lake Chicago caribbean festival

Hyde Park All Class Reunion was live.

Hyde Park Festival was good on Saturday. Sunday was horrible. No one played music/DJ in between the the artist..

Great place to skate — decent ice — lots of parking. They have ice hockey you can join for a few. Check their schedules for skating and hockey times

Very nice people at this ice skating rink. Free of charge if you have your own ice skates. $7 if you rent skates when you arrive.

I have attended lots of events at this location. Very spacious. Well manicured. Parking can be difficult when the area is packed.

Beautiful place always some type of awesome Festival going on that are usually free I love this place just left for jazz event Saturday here

Lovely large park with beautiful nature surrounding it. Great place to take the kids/dog to just rip n run till their hearts are content. Beautiful big trees to sit and read, meditate under too!

A nice place to bike, very long park, and also few places porta potties to use.

It’s a nice park to take a walk in but the sidewalks needs to be redone and there’s a lot of litter. Other than that, it’s a nice view.

I went ice skating here. It is a good place to skate. It is a large space to skate
