Kathy Osterman Beach, Chicago, IL

Kathy Osterman Beach, located at the northern end of Chicago’s lakefront, spans 27 acres of parkland along Lake Shore Drive between Ardmore and Hollywood avenues. The beach itself features 1,000 feet of shoreline with a wide sandy area, lifeguards during summer months, and a newly renovated lakefront path that connects to the 18-mile Lakefront Trail. A two-story beach house provides restrooms, changing facilities, and concessions. Adjacent green space includes a children’s playground, picnic tables, and grassy areas used for casual recreation. The park sits within walking distance of the Bryn Mawr and Thorndale CTA stations, as well as the retail and dining corridor along Broadway in Edgewater. The combination of direct lake access, connected trail infrastructure, and nearby transit options makes the beach a practical amenity for residents who value outdoor activity and convenient city connections.
