Places to see in ( Chicago - USA ) Chicago Riverwalk
The Chicago Riverwalk is an open, pedestrian waterfront located on the south bank of the main branch of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It spans from Lake Shore Drive to Lake Street. Called the city's 'Second Lakefront', the Riverwalk contains restaurants, park-seating, boat rentals, and other activities. Its current and planned final extent was opened to Wolf Point in 2017.
In conjunction with the Chicago Department of Transportation, construction of the Riverwalk began in 2001 as an extension of the Wacker Drive reconstruction project. With the rebuilding of Wacker Drive, the street was purposely relocated to allow for development of the walk. The oldest section now called Market, between Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue was at first an extension of the lake shore trail with tour boat docks, concessions and stair access. Sections at first required going up to street and bridge level to access the next section, until design plans and funding could be arranged over time.
At State and Wabash Streets where the Riverwalk is at its widest is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza, commemorating events that took place during that war. Designed by Ross Barney Architects and built in 2005, it is nestled within the Riverwalk and consists of a terraced lawn, a waterfall and a central pool.The Chicago Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Plaza, one of the largest in the nation outside of Washington, D.C., connects people to the riverfront, provides an escape from the steel and glass of the City, and bejewels the City's waterfront. Its public objectives and finished forms embody what a memorial plaza should be; a remembrance of those that served, and a celebration of the living. The plaza occupies land, reclaimed by the rebuilding and relocation of Wacker Drive, to create an urban park, with terraces and bench-lined ramps that gently transition from busy city streets to more quiet spaces near the river, providing a green refuge.
Chicago Riverwalk expansion sections:
The Marina Plaza: This area provides restaurants, outdoor seating, and boat access.
The Cove: This area Provides access for docking of human-powered crafts such as Kayaks and canoes.
The River Theater: This area has a sculptural staircase linking Upper Wacker Drive and the Riverwalk. It has seating and is shaded by trees.
The Water Plaza: Originally named the Swimming Hole, this area features a zero-depth fountain.
The Jetty: This area has s series of piers and floating wetland gardens. It offers an interactive learning environment about the ecology of the river, including opportunities for fishing and identifying native plants.
The Boardwalk: This area is an accessible walkway and lawn area and has continuous access to Lake Street.

Ulysses S. Grant Statue In Lincoln Park Chicago
Located just west of Lakeshore Drive This massive stone memorial and statue of Ulysses S. Grant is a monumental tribute to this celebrated Civil War general and 18th President of the United States. This native of Galena Il. Was so revered that contributions for a memorial began coming in with days of his death in 1885. The bronze statue was designed by Louis T. Rebisso and dedicated in 1891. An estimated 200,000 people attended the opening ceremonies.
On the other side of the statue we see the south pond that leads to the entrance to the Lincoln Park zoo. Another one of the great free things the city of Chicago has to offer.
