Added by The Outbound Collective

Millennium Park in Chicago, which opened in 2004, is a world-class public space featuring iconic landmarks like Cloud Gate (“The Bean”) and the Crown Fountain. Originally a rail yard, the park was transformed as part of a larger effort to revitalize the downtown area. It spans 24.5 acres and serves as a cultural hub with outdoor art, gardens, and the Jay Pritzker Pavilion for live performances. It has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists, blending art, architecture, and nature in the heart of the city.

Too many places to take pictures! Great art, great gardens! Sculptures can be found, dotted around this walk, with great views of the cityscape.

Luire Garden

Visiting Chicago I was on a mission to find a great outdoors spot to be in. This definitely fulfilled my goal of finding a beautiful garden to hangout in! There are plenty of different paths and areas to explore just within the city! Location Located in Millennium Park it will be easy to find, the park is in the South end of the park. The cross streets for the park are Monroe Drive and Colum...

Grant Park

Grant Park is located on the east side of Chicago. It is a great place to spend the day and explore. From the famous "Bean", which is actually named "the cloud", to Buckingham Fountain there is plenty to see in this park. It is also a great place to see the Chicago skyline, as well as have a picnic in the many different fields!

Run Chicago’s Lakefront Trail

Chicago – the third largest city in the US and home to the deep dish pizza – doesn’t exactly scream “outdoorsy.” In reality, there is much more to Chicago than skyscrapers; there are dozens of parks, outdoor music venues, and the city is right on Lake Michigan, making it very easy on the eyes. Being right on the lake, there are several stunning running trails that everyone should check out the ...

Salt Creek Greenway Trail

This trail is almost 7 miles one-way (14 miles out-and-back) of paved path, makes for an ideal biking (especially those of us with road bikes), skating, and even running path. The trail runs out-and-back along the Salt Creek in Brookfield, IL. The trailhead is right near the Brookfield Zoo (for anyone with kids!).
