Garfield Park
38
The best park you know nothing about. Long overshadowed by the Conservatory, the actual Garfield Park is worthy of some praise in and of itself. As evidenced by the photos I took/uploaded, the park possesses a majesty and charm that's worthy of attention. The focal point of the park is the field house. A large, gleaming golden building, replete with high domes, ornate designs, frescoes, and an eye-widening rotunda seem, at first, out of place in an area that's, at times, better known for the negative than the positive. The field house reminds one more of a mansion than a place were people can take art classes, swim in a pool, work out at a gym, and box. But, you can do all those things and more at the GP field house.
But, then, you start to walk about the lagoons... stop along the bridges... take pictures of the water fowl... contemplate the gazebo... and run along the flower grounds... and it hits you: Garfield Park holds it own amongst the very best parks in the city. The statue installations are all very unique, yet when taken together, tell a complete story. Make an effort to see them all and see if you can figure it out.
Once the word gets out about this park and the homes that surround it, don't be surprised by a housing renaissance. Potential. Full of. This is prime real estate.
