Public Parks

The once-brownfield land will transform into public parks, rooting residents in their neighborhoods and opening view corridors to the lake. A new 91-acre lakefront park dedicated to the Chicago Park District will provide 1.7 miles of additional lakefront access. And 35 acres of open space will be dedicated to an extensive system of neighborhood parks - Ore Wall Park, Central Park and Finger Parks - which will create areas for gardens, jogging, walking, playgrounds, sculptures and passive recreation.
