Loyola Park is a great little park and sprawling 41-acre venue on the outskirts of Chicago, offering both a traditional park experience and Lake Michigan beachfront. It is a lovely beach with soft sands and crystal-clear waters that are a tad cleaner than other lakeside beaches. The countless amenities include baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, sand volleyball plots, a playground, a beachfront promenade, and a walking/running trail. A rec center boasts a gym, boxing ring, and woodworking shop. People enjoy the row of over 150 painted benches, relax under the willow tree, and chill with their dogs. It is the perfect spot to unwind, providing an idyllic setting for relaxation and enjoyment.
I LOVE my beach! Luis does a fantastic job raking the beach bright & early! He's very conscientious about getting out of the tractor to pick up things the rake can't get.

I love taking my babies to the walk/bike path! I enjoy looking at the art work on the benches too!
