Millennium Park is an award-winning center for art, music, architecture and landscape design. The 24.5-acre park, on a site occupied by the Illinois Central Railroad, was covered with unsightly railroad tracks and parking lots throughout the 20th century. Opened in July of 2004, the park includes the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion; the interactive Crown Fountain by Jaume Plensa; the contemporary Lurie Garden Kathryn Gustafson; and Anish Kapoor's hugely popular Cloud Gate sculpture. There has been tremendous growth in developments surrounding and overlooking the Park itself including The Heritage and The Legacy condominium developments by Mesa Development, LLC and the Modern Wing at The Art Institute of Chicago designed by Renzo Piano. This walking tour will include a presentation and discussion on the park's creation and programs and how they affect development.
