We enjoyed the quieter environs of Lakeshore East Park compared to nearby Maggie Daley and Millennium Parks. There are curved, paved walking paths and nicely landscaped grounds with trees and planted flower beds which were full of tulips in full bloom during our recent visit. These were beautiful to see at this time of year. You'll also find traditional children's playground, dog friendly areas and park benches to sit and enjoy the park.
Definitely such a beautiful and relaxing place. When I was passing through on the way to Navy Pier I stopped in here for a quick break and to relax.
Amazing park! Very well maintained! You can go there at any time day and night it's super safe! They usually have events during the summer concerts, movies, fair. There's also a small dog park. Dog-friendliness: It is a dog friendly park as long as your dog is on leash. There's a small dog park for off leash playtime.
We are here for the Jazz Institute's concert featuring Julius Tucker Trio. An urban oasis park!
Such a lovely park. Well cared for. I just live to come here for walks with my fur baby. Popular with families and children its a paradise amidst the concrete towers. These days check out a million Tulips in bloom here . I must have taken a 100 pics at least. Sharing just a few.
I just love this place. I’m so grateful to people who built and maintaining it. Spring, summer and autumn there are flowers: tulips, magnolias, roses, etc. I am so lucky to live near with this park.
Beautiful little park, a hidden gem in the heart of the concrete jungle, where you can enjoy some green, trees, flowers and even a dog park! Free parking at Marinos.
Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Stumbled upon this clean park/neighborhood years ago when parking at The Tides. Many tall buildings - businesses, or living areas, surrounding the park. There are many families and kids but very quiet from the hustle and bustle of the city and has a hidden gem, private-feel. Cute shops, restaurants, and a Mariano's within the quarters. Will be around!
I learned about Lake Shore East Park through a friend of mine. Upon visiting it for myself, I was in awe at this little hidden gem! Such a lovely and welcoming place for every soul; the young, the old, the romantic, the nature lover, picture-takers me!, and even for our furry little friends. This park is surround by marvelously colored flowers, and at a time nearing, such as springtime, there is no better time to begin one's visit. This beautiful park has multiple little water fountains sitting around that can lull anyone to sleep. It has a wide space for children to run free, and still within sights of mommy and daddy. It has a little park for them to play as well. For those of you who have a child in your furry little friends, there is a small park in the midst of Lake Shore Park that is specifically for dogs and its very well kept. The people that the furry ones take there :- are as friendly ad they are and the dogs all seem to be well trained to socialize with their counterparts. One can take a romantic walk there as well. There plenty of shaded and unshaded spots for individuals and small groups to chill. If you are into getting fully relaxed it is nice spot to spread and blanket and take a wondrous nap at Lake Shore East Park. And reading a simple book makes for home for my book lovers. It is only 10 minutes walk from Maggie Daley Park if you are interested in getting the children to a less crowded place than Maggie Daley Park. Even if it is for a break from the noise of kids play, the kids can continue their play here until all is ready to return to Maggie Daley. Because it is close to Mariano's and a few more restaurants, Lake Shore Park is the perfect place for lunching :- if there is such a word for it. He he. Please visit whether you are a tourist or Chicago resident. You will not be disappointed!!!
A botanical park in the heart of the city. A virtual oasis... The rating used to be a five, but... The park is lately being overrun by a virtual parade of city tow trucks taking a shortcut to the impound lot. Note, the following pics of the tow trucks were all taken within a three hour period - perhaps the 13 trucks should be called, "the baker's dirty dozen!" Is this a park or a thoroughfare? Access to the park is through narrow one-way streets. Parents with children have to cross to get to the park - some trucks don't even stop to let people cross; the trucks create congestion, not to mention they are dangerous to pedestrians. They are supposed to use an alternate route but it takes two minutes longer. I wonder if this is just laziness on their part or if it is a way to generate more revenue?
