Jackson Park, Chicago - Chicago Illinois Walks

Neither as popular as Lincoln Park nor as stately as Grant Park, Jackson Park is instead more of a peaceful sanctuary, comfortably buffered from the crime and poverty for which the South Side is known. It is located about 8 miles south of the Loop, adjacent to the Hyde Park neighborhood and University of Chicago to the northwest and Lake Michigan to the east. The park provides 600 acres of lush vegetation, lagoons, and beach area . It is also home to the Museum of Science and Industry. Special attractions: Historic structures, museums, gardens, and park areas.
