Beautiful Chicago park but terribly trashed! Local resident here I came for a midday stroll since this park is only mins away from me and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Such a sad sight to see because there was trash everywhere! The wildlife does not deserve this. We ALL need to do better. I will never understand people who are comfortable littering. Is there anyone I can contact about this issue? Can the city put more garage bins to make it more accessible for people to throw THEIR garbage away?
Littered to the brim and infested with gang members who will either leave you alone or assault you depending on your race. Just stay on the main routes with pavement and you'll be fine. The ducks and trails are nice to experience on the right days.
This place is big. It has many ways you can spend time like taking a run or riding a bike. You can also play sports. This place is not well kept. There are many junkies and many people go there to sell drugs or other things. The place has some bad places and sometimes there are fights. I wouldn't recommend in my opinion.
This was my first time at this park and I really enjoyed my 45 or so minutes there. I will definitely be going back. I moved to Chicago from rural Wisconsin and needed to feel the grass under my feet again. Playground: Multiple locations with playgrounds for kids. Dog-friendliness: I see a lot of dogs on leashes when I come to this park. There is also a place for dogs to run free from leashes at one place in the park. Picnic area: Plenty of place for having picnics if you bring your own grill.
It was a nice day for everyone to get out and get a little air BBQ have a little fun. it was crowded. everyone kept their distance. children playing on sliding boards, swings,and taking turns
This park is a low key spot for fishing. The pond is small surely you can relax. Ducks use the pond too. I just wish the city of Chicago cut the grass. It is too high for my pup. It makes it hard to clean up poop. If the grass was cut regularly I'd give it a 5 star.
Nice park but... even though there's garbage cans all over the place people still throw trash on the ground, I mean how LAZY can they be ??
Marquette Park is huge and offers so much to the community. More people need to utilize the park. Many classes are offered for a small fee and some are completely FREE!
The course was in good shape and wasn't crowded during the week. Nice oasis in the city.
It still has plenty of natural beauty. I see different animals every day and lots of beauty
