Hartigan Beach Park is a small, quaint neighborhood beach and park in Rogers Park, close to the Loyola lakefront campus. It is a lovely little place, a kind of secret location for a quick walk or a quiet summer day by the lake. The beach is clean with free parking. The park features a nice green space with benches, a bit of shade, a fountain, and a small-to-medium playground. It is great for picnics and hanging out with friends. People enjoy sitting on the rocks to watch the water and the amazing view. It can get a bit crowded on weekends but is a great, free place to enjoy.
