Grant Park
Picnic · Editor rating, not a user review
The downtown park. Better for a walk between things than a long picnic.
Grant Park is the formal park between the Loop and the lake, built around lawns, gardens, and the fountain.
It is paved and programmed more than wild. A playground visit is fine, a campground does not exist, and a weekend festival can take the lawn you wanted. Weekday late afternoon is the version that feels like a park.
