Award-Winning Parks

Lakeshore East is a preview of the future, a mixed-use development where people can live, work, shop, eat and pursue whatever interests them without having to get into a car.

Six acres of serenity in the heart of the city - The magnificent park at Lakeshore East is the centerpiece of the community. A blend of stairway terraces, sidewalks, vast green spaces, interactive and aesthetic cascading water elements, and intimate gardens, this oasis in the heart of downtown is rapidly developing a reputation as the biggest and best front yard in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Additional special areas in this botanical gem included on the list of Great Chicago Places and Spaces by the Mayor's Office of Special Events include a delightful children's playground, an enclosed dog park and a magnificent open meadow.

In addition to just relaxing, strolling, picnicking, playing with the kids, or walking the dog you can also work at the park. The Park at Lakeshore East provides free Wi-Fi Internet access. Bring your laptop computer and surf the Internet while basking in the great outdoors.

The Park at Lakeshore East is proud to have received local and national recognition.
