Lincoln Park

Welcome to Lincoln Park

Located in Chicago’s Near Northwest side, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago’s most recognized neighborhoods. Boasting proximity near both the Loop and Lake, Lincoln Park has been a highly sought location to call home for years—fully developed, replete with theaters, restaurants, boutiques, retailers and a vibrant nightlife. From destination dining to world-class culture, the pulsing community area has plenty to offer. Lincoln Park’s wealth of transportation options and proximity to Chicago’s Loop business district make it a great choice for commuters, and lakeshore park—with its beaches, bike paths and abundant green space—functions as the city’s collective front lawn in the summer. The CTA Brown Line has stops at Armitage, Fullerton, Diversey and Sedgewick, and the Red Line stops at North & Clybourn as well as Fullerton. Many CTA Bus routes transverse Lincoln Park, as well. Lincoln Park stays true to its name by maintaining 1,200-acres of lakeside parkland lined with multi-use paths, beaches, softball diamonds and sun-dappled gardens within its borders. Explore the lakeshore on the Lakefront Trail or soak up rays at North Avenue Beach. Also situated within the park is the Lincoln Park Zoo—a free, world-class zoo in a pleasant, visitor-friendly setting. For more local flora and fauna, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum features 17,000 square feet of gardens, as well as the popular Butterfly Haven exhibit that is home to more than 250 colorful butterfly species. The Lincoln Park Conservatory provides a little slice of paradise in the middle of the city, especially in the winter!
