Ive passed this Park a million times when I worked in Skokie waaaaaaay back in the day (like early 90s back in the day) and Ive always wanted to walk the path and check out all the sculptures. 20 years later and back in the area I decided to take a run amongst the art this morning. There are several places to park along the way and I think I even saw a port-o-pottie in the lot where I parked just north of Touhy. It was a nice quiet Tuesday morning run. The path is nice and clean and there are several places to stop along the way and sit on a bench. I cant give it 5 stars because there are no water stops! There is one of the advertisement banners for the park on a light pole somewhere along the way with a person running. If youd like to cater to runners or promote this as a great place for runners, then PLEASE add a few water fountains. There is a barren spot along the path with only two sculptures. I thought the park ended but I kept going to get in my mileage. Then the park continued so my advice would be if youre in it to sight see or run or whatever, keep going North.

Great place for a walk. Park is sandwiched between McCormick Blvd and the Skokie Lagoon and goes for a couple of miles. There are parking lots at a few locations along its length. The park has lots of interesting sculptures to look at sprinkled throughout it as well as some really nice willow trees, etc. While you can also bike or roller blade the path, its not the best for those activities because there are a number of cross streets and the total path length is relatively short for things like a bike ride.

This is a great place to take a walk. The park is a small strip of land that spans several blocks with a large sculpture every half block or so. They also have a couple of Port-a-potties halfway through its length. The path is shared by bicyclers, so walking your dog is safer if you stay on the grass. Human-only for traffic is a little easier to maneuver as long as you maintain alertness.

When riding my bike through this area, there are a million zig-zags. It gets a little annoying after a while, however, the view is very nice. Also, sculptures are placed in the park where people are able to see them nicely

Easier going place, the sculptures re very interesting. Very clean and quiet park along the channel (west river branch) any day you can go here to jog on the path, bike, are just chill at a park bench or table.

Best bike trail in Chicago. It is never crowded, nicely paved, wide path, great scenery, and easy to get to! They also have free parking along the trail in multiple lots of you wish to drive and park.

A very beautiful park that has a vast variety of sculptures. It is a nice place for long walks, jogs, or bike rides! The park offers free parking and scheduled tours to learn about the sculptures.

Not the place to bring a dog to walk. Only section D and E are dog friendly. What is the point of this trail? Also dog park is nicely fenced in and comes with high fees. I wont be back.

Clean, well maintained walkways with interesting sculptures and sitting areas along the way. I deducted a star because the disc golf course is a bit too close to a busy road.

Its a great gem tucked on the side of the road. It was a nice place to walk and see some really awsome sculpture and take some time to enjoy the outdoors.

A nice place to walk around. The sculptures are contemporary. Bike path is well maintained. The park is a bit close to a main noisy street.

There are some great sculptures here. Fair warning some of them are not kid appropriate but still a great place to take a walk.

A great place to walk or ride with nice views so when your out you can distract yourself with the art.

Always a lovely place for a walk. McCormick Blvd is a little noisy, but the art is great.

The art and walkway are very nice but the canal is toxic. I wish theyd clean it up.
