Millennium Park
Built on a site that was controlled by the Illinois Central Railroad for almost 150 years, Millennium Park is seen by Chicagoans as the crowning glory of their city. The 24.5 acre park is much more than just a city park. It’s a day-long adventure for the whole family that has served to not only beautify the city but also bring culture and the arts to locals and visitors of all ages.
History of the Park
Millennium Park is bordered by Michigan Avenue to the west, Columbus Drive to the east, Randolph Street to the North and Monroe Street to the South. It sits in an area that was once considered sacred to the Illinois Central Railroad. City planners developed Grant Park around the railroad tracks but, for decades, many still considered the area to be one of Chicago’s less-than-beautiful spots.
