    Came to this park for a photo shoot and was so amazed. It was such a quiet and ducked off park…read more They have a rock climbing wall, lots of greenery near the water and I saw a lot of people fishing. The photographer was telling me about the history of the area and it all seems so interesting. Definitely on my list of parks to come crochet when I need peaceful surroundings

    Surprised me! Have to agree with previous poster who had family in the industry. My wife came from…read morea steelworker family in East Chicago and holidays as a young man always included having a beer with uncle Harry to hear his stories of the mills, the men, and the union. I too always had trouble imagining the lake just beyond the South Works, it was such an imposing complex with no hint of anything natural in sight. More recent years I marvelled from a distance at the ruins, the massive walls that remain. Well a piece of those walls have been repurposed for rock climbing! And what a surprise when I finally stopped in (for the purpose of adding it to the Illinois Labor Movement Monument and Memorial Facebook page), I was surprised what a nice park it is! 16.5 acres with landscaped fields and natural areas, winding paths, and lovely view of the lake. Great picnic spot. In fact we were coming from the north so we stopped in Hyde Park and picked up our favorite hot pastrami at Mory's and had our lunch there. And you are greeted by Chicago artist Ramon Villarreal's Tribute to the Past statue of a worker come home in his work clothes with lunch pail and his family around him, including the dog. I wasn't expecting much but it is a real treasure of the lakefront. You don't need a beach to enjoy our lakefront. Check it out.
