Great place in the middle of a concrete jungle just steps from where I was staying at the Waldorf. Brought my uni here to catch the crisp air and exert myself on those snowy November days.

Love this park!! There are many benches so it’s great for sitting, admiring and reading as well. It’s so charming during the green months and lit up for the winter time as well! It’s truly precious and usually full dogs :)

Very beautiful place in the middle of River North. It's pet-friendly and usually a place where owners take their furry friends to play and gather together. For sure, you find squirrels as well.

It's a nice park. Plain, with a small fountain. Great view of the John Hancock building

Great place to run around with your pet. Everyone looks like they pick up after their animals. Very pretty now that the leaves are changing..
