The neighborhood of Lincoln Park began when the City of Chicago transformed the large cemetery near Lake Michigan into a publicly supported park in 1864. City funding in the 1970’s helped transform Lincoln Park into the elegant, bustling, city within a city that is now home to nearly 65,000. Boasting nearly 300 restaurants within its three square miles, Lincoln Park enjoys an eclectic choice of restaurants, bars, lounges, and clubs. Lincoln Avenue between Diversey and Armitage has an impressive concentration of eateries and watering holes and is host to the Chicago Summerfest, an open-air multi-stage concert and festival, each year.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Lincoln Park, for which the area is named, sits on 1,200 acres of endless bike and jogging paths, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, picnic areas, a public golf course, and the famous Lincoln Park Zoo. In addition, its proximity to Lake Michigan, makes Lincoln Park an ideal place for beachgoers and water enthusiasts alike.

Lincoln Park also has a vibrant cultural component. The neighborhood has nearly twenty galleries and is home to three museums: The Chicago History Museum, The DePaul University Art Museum, and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The Steppenwolf Theater Company, the Victory Garden Greenhouse Theater, and Second City offer a myriad of performances throughout the week.
