New Addition

The latest addition to downtown Chicago is the Maggie Daley Park which opened just before Christmas. It is just east of Millennium Park. This is the new skating ribbon, just one small part of the park.

Thank you so much for all of your comments the past few days. I will catch up with everyone tomorrow.

Great view of the town from there. They designed it well. The curve in the skating ribbon looks great in pics.

[Laur]

What a fun, happy, uplifting shot. I used to live in Wisconsin and miss ice skating outside and the snow...

[Ukandie!]

@voiceprintz It looks a bit barren at the moment needless to say, but you can see how nice it is going to be once the trees mature. I can imagine it is going to be a huge hit year round, and finally the bridge to nowhere has somewhere to go!

[~~JT]

@ukandie1 I'll be in Chicago this weekend but won't have a chance to get to the south loop to check it out. The boy and I have a field trip to that area planned soon. Perhaps he and I will have a chance to explore it a bit. Doesn't it just figure that it would take a decade for the bridge to nowhere to go somewhere? pppfffftttttt...it's Chicago!

[Julia]

Wow! Beautiful!

[Anna]

That skating ribbon looks fab - from your photos I am very impressed with all of Chicago's parks, all very innovative!

[Liz Thorne]

Gorgeous colours.

[Marla Hunt]
