Loyola Park, Chicago, IL

Loyola Park occupies 23 acres along Lake Michigan’s shoreline between Pratt and Touhy Avenues. The park’s 2.6-mile lakefront path connects directly to the North Shore Channel Trail, allowing residents to run or cycle continuously from Evanston to downtown Chicago. A fenced dog beach at the north end provides year-round lake access for pet owners, while two guarded beaches south of the promenade open Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park includes six lighted tennis courts, a multi-purpose athletic field, and a fitness center with an indoor track. An outdoor nature play area and restored dune habitat sit within walking distance of the East Rogers Park Metra station and several CTA bus routes. Mature cottonwood and oak trees line the western edge, offering shade and buffering noise from Sheridan Road. The adjacent Loyola University campus adds a 24-hour security presence and keeps the surrounding streets active into the evening.
