Lakeshore East Park — Attraction in Chicago

I learned about Lake Shore East Park through a friend of mine. Upon visiting it for myself, I was in awe at this little hidden gem! Such a lovely and welcoming place for every soul; the young, the old, the romantic, the nature lover, picture-takers (me!), and even for our furry little friends.

This park is surround by marvelously colored flowers, and at a time nearing, such as springtime, there is no better time to begin one's visit. This beautiful​ park has multiple little water fountains sitting around that can lull anyone to sleep. It has a wide space for children to run free, and still within sights of mommy and daddy. It has a little park for them to play as well.

For those of you who have a child in your furry little friends, there is a small park in the midst of Lake Shore Park that is specifically for dogs and its very well kept. The people that the furry ones take there :-) are as friendly ad they are and the dogs all seem to be well trained to socialize with their counterparts.

One can take a romantic walk there as well. There plenty of shaded and unshaded spots for individuals and small groups to chill. If you are into getting fully relaxed it is nice spot to spread and blanket and take a wondrous nap at Lake Shore East Park. And reading a simple book makes for home for my book lovers.

It is only 10 minutes walk from Maggie Daley Park if you are interested in getting the children to a less crowded place than Maggie Daley Park. Even if it is for a break from the noise of kids play, the kids can continue their play here until all is ready to return to Maggie Daley.

Because it is close to Mariano's and a few more restaurants, Lake Shore Park is the perfect place for lunching :-) if there is such a word for it. He he. Please visit whether you are a tourist or Chicago resident. You will not be...

A beautiful botanical park in the heart of the city. A virtual oasis that is uniquely Chicago provided the dog pound tow trucks don't ruin it.

The rating was a three because it was overrun by a virtual parade of city tow trucks taking a shortcut to the impound lot. Note, the following pics of the tow trucks were all taken within a three hour period - perhaps the 13 trucks should be called, "the baker's dirty dozen!"

Is this a park or a thoroughfare?

Access to the park is through narrow one-way streets. Parents with children have to cross to get to the park - some trucks don't even stop to let people cross; the trucks create congestion, not to mention they are dangerous to pedestrians.

They are supposed to use an alternate route but it takes two minutes longer. I wonder if this is just laziness on their part or if it is a way to generate...
