This is a neat little spot if you have a bike or want to do a walk. I had dogs and it was fine. There was a working water fountain at the start of the trail. Cool history preserve. Would probably be very boring for toddlers-teens but babies and “boring” people might enjoy the sounds of nature. I enjoyed the birds chirping.

This is a cool bizarre little walking park that seems to have been given back to the public. It’s odd to get into from Damen- it looks like you are going to head into a restricted area but the entrance is right before that. There is not parking so this is more for a bike ride if you’re coming in that way and even then I’d caution you not to get squished cause there is a lot of truck traffic.
The water was actually serene and there are a few geese around the walk. There are views of the skyline but this park is kind of a nice break from super picturesque spaces you see so often in pictures. It’s a nice reminder of how much waste we produce and how important waterways are to the city and it was really out of the ordinary to bike through here- in a great way. There’s not a lot to do but there kind of is a lot to look at with the cranes in the background.
