General Information about the Park
Great Chicago Places & Spaces Tour Crown Fountain by Jaume Plensa |
Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans, aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die. - Daniel Burnham |

Millennium Park opened on July 16th, 2004 and is located in Chicago bounded by Randolph Street to the North, Columbus Drive to the East, Monroe Drive to the South and the great Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue, to the West. The park was originally just an open expanse with railroads and parking and an unsightly eyesore in Chicago's great front lawn that is Grant Park, and is now one of Chicago's most enjoyed public spaces. The park has been open now for almost two years and its effect on the surrounding area has been astounding. New restuarants, condominiums, hotels and various amenities have cropped up around the park making it an even more vibrant area to enjoy. Hope to see you there soon!
