3 reviews for Dawes Park
I honestly think I have died and gone to heaven. It's the middle of August, and there is this gorgeous lakefront park with running and biking trails, and a dog park, and a lagoon with fountains surrounded by park benches and grass, and a bluff with cool-ass painted rocks you can sun on like a lizard, and it's only 70 degrees outside right now, and the park is only 2 blocks from my friend's apartment, and I can see the Chicago skyline beckoning "come have fun here!"
That's this visitor's view of Dawes Park.
What am I doing? Time for a morning run to work off all the deliciously fattening food I've consumed over the last 4 days. We're going downtown for lunch!

Cute park that isn't too crowded. The view of lake michigan is breathtakingly beautiful. It reminded me of the hamptons with the beach and gentle breeze. There's also a little man made lake inside the park too.

This park gets 5 stars for one reason. And that reason is the concrete lagoon smack dab in the middle of it, on the scenic shores of Lake Mission. The lagoon has a nice path around it, and an island in the middle.
Ok, so I might not be convincing you that a concrete lagoon is worth five stars. What's it going to take? What if I told you that it was the historic starting and ending point of BagFeST? Sigh, that might not do it. But, well, reviews are subjective, so I still think that th lagoon is 5 stars.
