Happy Earth Day, Chicago! 🌎

Our city has so many parks & beautiful spaces for us to preserve for hopefully generations to come🌱

Like this one! Henry Palmisano Park in Bridgeport. Once a coral reef, a quarry, then landfill. But now it’s one of the best parks in the city. The views are amazing! One of the best places to have a picnic 🧺

Below are a few of our favorites in and around Chicago....

🌳 Jackson Park (Osaka Gardens)
🌳 Skokie Lagoons
🌳 Olive Park (very good for 🧺)
🌳 Waterfall at Forest Glen
🌳 Portage Park (pool too!)
🌳 Indian Boundary Park River Grove
🌳 Graue Mill Oak Brook
🌳 Statue Park Schaumburg
🌳 Wrightwood Park (pool too!)
🌳 Garfield Park Conservatory
🌳 Humboldt Park
🌳 Burnham Park
🌳 Lincoln Park
🌳 North Branch River Trail

Save 📌 this post for all your outdoor adventures this summer.

Any other parks I’m missing? We’d them below ⬇️ #happyearthday #chicagoparks #chicagogram #chicagoshots #chicagoismyboyfriend
