For ultimate scenery and recreation--from golfing to fishing to yachting--this is the city's best-kept secret.

(4.0 / 5 stars)

The Scene
Here lies some of the most beautiful parkland in Chicago: stately trees, reflecting ponds, acres and acres of grass and a colorful perennial garden. More than 100 years old, Jackson Park has aged with grace. In its heyday, this vast expanse of green (more than two square miles) helped turn adjacent Hyde Park, now a neighborhood, into one of Chicago's first and most exclusive suburbs. The park was founded in 1869 and was the site of the Columbian Exposition in 1893.

The Experience
Fishing is allowed in the park's lagoons, stocked with bullheads, catfish and bluegills. There are also basketball and tennis courts, soccer fields, softball diamonds and several nearby beaches. The Republic Statue, a.k.a. "The Golden Lady," is one of the few remaining vestiges of the 1893 Expo. For a peaceful afternoon, spend some time in the beautiful Osaka Japanese Garden.

Jackson Park Golf Course provides great golfing!

Jackson Park Golf Course is nice golf course and is located on scenic route of south lake shore drive. They are reasonable in price and the staff are very friendly and will provide you with needed services upon request. I also like using the range for practice, and they too are reasonable in price. They provide parking, golf carts and restroom facilities if needed. It also is conveniently located and easy to get too. I would recommend Jackson Park for great golf.
