Home of the Garfield Park Conservatory, one of the largest and most impressive conservatories in the United States. It was designed as a pleasure ground by William LeBaron Jenney and is the oldest of the three great original Chicago West Side parks (Humboldt, Garfield, and Douglas).
The first 40 acre (160,000 m²) segment of Garfield Park was formally opened to the public in August 1874. Originally known as Central Park, it was conceived as the centerpiece of the West Park System.
Free to visit and free to park! Right off the green line as well!
