Nice place to go and relax. The only part I don't like is how the train area is setup. when I was ready to go I got stuck waiting for the trains to pass, it is like five or six train tracks in the area. I was waiting for about 50mins for three trains to pass. Oh they have signs posted that say the trains do not sound, so please pay attention and walk in designated areas. They do have restrooms and parking on site. The parking is free on the off season, but from March 1st to November 30th you have to pay at the meter station.

Nice place to see the Chicago skyline. The South parking area was closed due to the lake surge...was icy and slippery on the sidewalk and road. Beach was not visible bc of the water level. The South entrance is where Google maps lead us but there was also a north parking lot. There are 3 busy train tracks at the entrance and all 3 had trains at the same time. Ornate gazebo and a pavilion near the water. Also a miniature light house. Unobstructed view of Lake Michigan.

This park is beautiful! The only problem is that when there is a train you're stick in the park until it passes. There is NO way around the train. This is also normally not a huge deal because trains eventually move along and you're on your way in no more than 15 minutes. However, yesterday (1/25/25) the train didn't move for nearly an hour... AN HOUR!!! And there were no bathrooms available! This was my only issue but it's a big problem IMHO.

Very nice lakefront park! Although there’s still some place under construction, it’s pretty enjoyable. The parking lot has plenty of space but is not for free. When facing the lake, there’s beach in the left hand side - also beautiful. When the weather is good, you can see Chicago from here. During the day we visited, the air smells a bit awkward - the only thing that I would call out here... (probably just that day)

Great place. They have really fixed up the lake front. It has a nice pier that u can walk out to. Plenty of benches and swings along the lake front. Playground for the kids. U do have to pay for parking and it is enforced. If you have an electric vehicle you are in luck they do have charging stations. They also have food stands but they were closed when we went. Beautiful views, great walks.

Very nice p to place and beach but if you haven't been here, word of advice**check the signs about parking. We were unaware, since we are from Indianapolis, that you have to pay to park to go to beach. Not knowing this we got a citation left on the windshield of our car for $103.00. what a nice vacation bonus don't you think... And yes we plan to appeal this......
