Millennium Park
Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. It is a prominent civic center near the city's Lake Michigan shoreline that covers a 5-acre section of northwestern Grant Park. The area was previously occupied by parkland, Illinois Central rail yards, and parking lots. The park, which is bounded by Michigan Avenue, Randolph Street, Columbus Drive and East Monroe Drive, features a variety of public art. It hosts free events throughout the year such as concerts, exhibitions, and educational activities. The park includes the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate, the Crown Fountain, the Lurie Garden, and various other attractions. It is considered one of the most important works of architecture and urban design of the 21st century.
