The park boundaries weren’t entirely clear to us. The Lincoln statue is beautiful, but not celebrated in this run-down part of the Lake Shore area.

The park is very big and nice for walking

Lincoln Park was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Chicago and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the city. We spent an entire afternoon just wandering around and there was so much to see, from the beautful gardens and the conservatory to the zoo which is completely free, something you rarely find these days. The paths along the lagoon are great for a relaxed stroll and we saw plenty of locals jogging, biking and walking their dogs, which gave it a really nice neighborhood feel. The views of the skyline from the park are very unique and made for some great photos. We also stumbled on a farmers market near the south end which was a fun surprise. Easy to reach by bus, plenty of benches to rest, and lots of shade on a hot day. Five stars, we will definitely come back next time we are in town.

This is a nice urban park. I walked a while despite freezing weather. Combine with history museum

There is nothing more exhilarating and invigorating and refreshing that walking through Lincoln Park on a sunny day in the spring, summer or fall. Weather permitting, I take a leisurely stroll from my condominium near North Avenue to the Lincoln Park zoo and back. Past the Chicago History Museum, the famous Abraham Lincoln Statue and the Benjamin Franklin Statue, along the long promenade to the South Pond. There's a bench on a nearby hill where I usually take a break. Then into the Zoo and the seals pool and tigers and lions and apes and flamingoes and rhinos and polar bears and giraffes. On the way back, I always take time to admire the massive Ulysses S. Grant Statue that overlooks DuSable Lake Shore Drive and Lake Michigan and watch kids playing soccer or baseball or basketball. On Wednesdays, I always browse through the farmers' market between Stockton and Clark Streets. Lincoln Park is Chicago's largest park, covering 1,200 beautifully manicured and landscaped acres. I'm so fortunate to live a few steps from one of the city's grandest attractions.
