DuSable Park, Urban park in Near North Side, Chicago, United States.
Located at the confluence of Lake Michigan and Chicago River, DuSable Park spans across undeveloped land near Navy Pier and Lake Point Tower.
The land emerged from lake deposits in 1857 when the State of Illinois sold 40 acres to Chicago Dock and Canal Trust for industrial purposes.
Named after Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago's first non-Indigenous settler, the park represents an important recognition of African American contributions to the city.
The Chicago Park District received Environmental Protection Agency funding to remove radioactive thorium contamination from the former industrial site in 2012.
Related Midwest initiated construction in 2024 to transform this former Chicago Spire construction site into a public recreational space.
