Beyond Lincoln and Grant....

The Big Two (Lincoln Park and Grant Park) get the real attention and adulation among the city's park. But other parks don't always get their due. Which parks, other than LP and GP, do you really like? Which do you think are the real majors and why? For me, it's a no brainer which one follows the Big Two: it couldn't be anything but Jackson Park. How can you not love the place: MSI, Japanese gardens, large harbor, beaches. The Conservatory at Garfield Park is wonderful, far exceeding LP. Burham Park has the potential to become the South Side's version of Lincoln. I hope this gets pulled off. I'm hoping gentrification will translate into a total revival of the inland parks.>
