Grant Park, Urban park in Chicago Loop, United States.
The 319-acre park extends along Lake Michigan with gardens, performance venues, monuments, fountains, and sporting facilities throughout its landscaped grounds.
Established in 1844 as Lake Park, it was renamed Grant Park in 1901 to honor United States President Ulysses S. Grant.
The Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park, and Buckingham Fountain form integral parts of this park that hosts major music festivals and exhibitions.
Grant Park opens daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, offering walking paths, biking trails, skateboarding areas, and two Lake Michigan marinas.
The park features Crown Fountain, where two 50-foot glass block towers display digital faces and project water from their surfaces.
