Burnham Park
-
Designed by and named for city planner Daniel Burnham, Burnham Park is the city’s green lawn rolling south from Museum Campus (see South Loop) to Hyde Park. Like Lincoln and Grant parks, it is charted by the lakefront bike path, but unlike its northern counterparts Burnham Park’s section isn’t overrun, making this south-leg journey far more enjoyable. Along the way you’ll find basketball courts and beaches. The return trip north provides city skyline panoramas.
