Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park — Attraction in Niles Township

I've passed this Park a million times when I worked in Skokie waaaaaaay back in the day (like early 90s back in the day) and I've always wanted to walk the path and check out all the sculptures. 20 years later and back in the area I decided to take a run amongst the art this morning.
