if you are near another beach, go there. i have genuinely never met ruder people than the life guards here. this one man between 18-22 who was around 5’4” with a mustache kept picking me and my friend out of the crowd to harass and yell at. we told him countless times that we were men and he kept calling us women. he would not answer me when i was asking him where the water should be hitting me and just kept saying “move in girls!!” it got to the point where we started to ignore him and he got his supervisor involved and when i told the supervisor what happened, he could not care less. he changed his answer to where the water should be hitting us and when we said “that’s the first time someone told us that” he got angry and started lying about how he had been saying that the whole time. he had most certainly had not been.

i think these lifeguards would have a stroke if they saw what happens at coastal beaches. the worst experience of my life. do not come here unless you want your...

Free parking & free beach is great, but only 1 of 2 water fountains work. They removed the shower. The bathrooms could definitely use an upgrade, they’ve a dirty feel to them, almost “prison-like” quality. The “mirrors” are made out of some type of reflective dull foil-like material. So worn that you can’t really see your reflection. Most of the time there’s either no soap, or the soap dispensers are broken. Workers come to “clean” and stock it, but mostly just smoke cigarettes & sit in their maintenance vehicle until someone asks them for toilet paper or soap. The garbage tends to be over-filled and spill out onto the sidewalk or beach. Many of us have seen rats running around the beach at night. The taco stand near the parking lot has really good steak tacos though, and the family running it are so nice. The sand is nice & soft, but the city needs to do a better job of maintaining the beach...

ESPAÑOL: Este lugar es realmente encantador. Los árboles, las áreas verdes, las caminerías, playas y espacios para jugar voleibol lo hacen maravilloso. Hay parques, rutas para bicicletas, canchas de basketball, papeleras para reciclaje y desechos orgánicos, pero vi pocos baños públicos. Me encanta ver a las ardillas por doquier jugando, saltando y disfrutando el intenso verde del césped. Ademas, puedes llevar tu parrillera y hacer hamburguesas, perros calientes o barbacoas. En verano es clima es perfecto para tomar un baño en las playas del lago. El agua es fría, pero realmente limpia y muy refrescante. Por ser lago, no es agua salada. Hay salvavidas pendientes de la multitud, en botes y torres de vigilancia al estilo de Baywatch. En las noches, puedes ver el lago iluminado con la luz de los edificios de la ciudad. Y si te topas con una noche de luna llena, podrás ver una incandescente luna roja exótica e inmensa que parece salir del lago y luego se cuelga en el cielo pintando el paisaje de elegancia y misticismo. Ves a muchas familias, parejas convencionales y de ambo sexos pasear y disfrutar del lugar. Aunque también es ideal si lo quieres disfrutar a solas y regalarte un momento para ti. Realmente, este lugar es paradisíaco y relajan a la vez.

ENGLISH: This place is really charming. The trees, green areas, walkways, beaches and spaces to play volleyball make it wonderful. There are parks, bike paths, basketball courts, recycling and organic waste bins, but I saw few public restrooms. I love to see the squirrels everywhere playing, jumping and enjoying the intense green of the grass. In addition, you can take your barbecue and make hamburgers, hot dogs or barbecues. In summer the weather is perfect for taking a bath on the lake's beaches. The water is cold, but really clean and very refreshing. Because it is a lake, it is not salt water. Lifeguards stand out from the crowds, on boats and Baywatch-style watchtowers. At night, you can see the lake illuminated by the light from the buildings of the city. And if you come across a full moon night, you will be able to see an exotic and huge incandescent red moon that seems to come out of the lake and then hangs in the sky painting the landscape with elegance and mysticism. You see many families, conventional couples and both sexes walking around and enjoying the place. Although it is also ideal if you want to enjoy it alone and give yourself a moment for yourself. Really, this place is paradisiacal and relaxing at...

Being from out of state, we knew there were beaches in the Chicago area, but had not been to any. After learning about Foster Beach on Yelp and Google, we decided to venture north on the Red Line and check it out. We were not disappointed! The beach was clean, the sand was very soft, and the water was beautiful. It has a decent snack bar and bathrooms. The surrounding area was robust with activity and we felt it was in a safe community. I spoke with some friends later about our experience, and they said that they had never spoken with any out-of-towner who has ever been there. We feel like we stumbled across a local gem, and it deserves our 5-star rating.
