Tour of Maggie Daley Park Chicago, June 2015 ~ Opening Ceremony
Taking my son on a tour of Maggie Daley Park upon the opening day ceremony 6/13/15. .The former Daley Bicentennial Plaza site has been transformed into Maggie Daley Park, a magnificent lakefront recreation center complete with climbing walls for children and adults. Maggie Daley Park is located at 337 E. Randolph St. Chicago, IL 60601. This was my son's first visit. He has autism, so he ain't much for other people and smaller kids, but it was good to get him outside for the day. Enjoy the tour. This park is amazing. Good to see tax dollars pleasing children and parents in the city.
In 2012, the Chicago Park District began transforming the northeastern part of Grant Park into Maggie Daley Park. For many decades, an expansive surface parking lot occupied this site with a portion of the Illinois Central’s sunken rail yard extending along the northwestern edge. In the mid-1970s, the Chicago Park District replaced the old park lot with the Richard J. Daley Bicentennial Plaza, a complex that provided a new 3700-car underground garage with major recreational facilities. Dedicated to Chicago’s former Mayor Richard J. Daley (1902 – 1976), the facility included a new fieldhouse for indoor recreational programming as well as several outdoor amenities such as tennis courts, an ice skating rink, picnic areas, and Grant Park’s first playground.
In 2009, the City of Chicago and the Park District began plans to renovate the underground parking garage and fieldhouse and enliven the outdoor elements in this area. Over the next several years, thousands of citizens participated in community workshops and meetings to help determine the programming for this prominent lakeshore site which lies just east of Millennium Park. The Park District hired Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, an internationally renowned landscape architecture firm to design the new park space. Serving as a counterpoint to the symmetry and formality of Grant Park, the design incorporates curvilinear forms, dramatic topography, and many whimsical elements.
The Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners renamed the site in honor of Maggie C. Daley (1943 – 2011) Chicago’s longtime first lady, who was deeply committed to improving the lives of children and making the city culturally rich for all of its citizens. Maggie Daley was the co-founder of Gallery 37, a cultural arts program for teens in the summer. This led to the creation of After School Matters, a non-profit organization that offers Chicago teens innovative activities in the arts, communication, science, sports and technology. It is now the nation’s largest out-of-school program of its kind for teenagers.
A dynamic force behind many of Chicago’s non-profit organizations, large and small, Mrs. Daley was a tireless advocate for her city. Today, she is remembered for her grace, perseverance, zest for life, and commitment to a better Chicago.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is the sponsor of the Great Lawn in Chicago’s newest lakeside landmark – Maggie Daley Park. The park, named for Chicago’s former first lady, is directly across the street from our headquarters building and is a wonderful place for Chicagoans and visitors to engage in healthy, fun activities. We organized a kite flying event for opening day to encourage families to run, laugh and play in Chicago’s newest family destination.

Millennium Park - Project of the Week 6/9/14
Created to reinvigorate a 25-acre tract of land in Chicago's Grant Park, Millennium Park is a multi-award winning 24.5-acre public park with venues for performance, art, sculpture, architecture and landscape architecture, located between Chicago's lakefront and the central business district (the loop). At 24.5 acres, Millennium Park is considered either the largest or one of the largest intensive greenroof projects in the world and covers two multi-level parking lots with a total of 4,000 cars, a commuter rail line, and an opera hall.
When Millennium Park opened on July 16, 2004, it transformed an industrial wasteland into Chicago's showplace for cutting-edge art, architecture, landscape design, music and more; the centerpiece of Millennium Park is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, a bandshell designed by Frank Gehry. Today, it is Chicago's second-largest tourist attraction -- and the City will mark its 10th anniversary throughout the summer. In 2014, the Millennium Park 10th Anniversary Summer Celebration will feature dozens of free events and exhibitions including new, monumental sculptures by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, designer of Crown Fountain; indie rock, electronica, jazz, classical and world music; films, simulcasts and documentaries shown on an outdoor, 40-foot LED screen; family activities; workouts and more. Due to the size, scope, and multi-phase approach, several companies provided waterproofing, including: Barrett Company; American Hydrotech, Tremco, and Henry.
