Berger Park Cultural Center (Chicago, Illinois)

 NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, cultural center / centre

As an early proponent of developing street-end beaches on Chicago's north side, Berger Park Cultural Center has now become a neighborhood icon. Great for fun learning and excitement, events such as Concerts and Movies in the Park and the Annual Jewelry and Ceramics Show have contributed to the cultural facade of Chicago’s north shore area. Boasting programs that include Writer’s Workshop and Pottery, the Cultural Center is currently home to the most popular ceramics program within the Chicago Park District.

Outside children enjoy the colorful 8,000-square-foot playground that features a play area shaped like a pirate ship with soft surface tiles and rubber surfacing. Community members can enjoy the beautiful view of the lake by sitting on the creative mosaic art bench.

The quaint historic landmark mansion also boasts a magnificent outdoor garden space along with breathtaking lake views. Located just minutes from downtown, this unique space offers three rooms that can be rented individually for intimate gatherings or together for functions that can accommodate up to 100 guests.
