Burnham Park, Urban park along Lake Michigan in Chicago, US.

Burnham Park extends for six miles along Lake Michigan's shoreline, connecting Grant Park at 14th Street to Jackson Park at 56th Street.

The park emerged from the 1909 Plan for Chicago, with its official opening in 1920 and naming after urban planner Daniel Burnham in 1927.

The park houses Soldier Field stadium and McCormick Place convention center, serving as central venues for sports events and exhibitions.

Two major harbors within the park provide 1,120 docking facilities at Burnham Harbor and additional space at the 31st Street Harbor.

The concrete skatepark near the 31st Street Beachhouse offers recreational facilities while maintaining views of Lake Michigan.
