Celebrating in Uptown
Where Uptown hosts use heating & cooling
The lakefront is the other half of Uptown. Montrose Beach and Montrose Harbor, with its wide lawn and skyline views, are a popular place for picnics and large family parties, and the nearby lakefront paths are popular for walking and gathering. Everything out there is managed by the Chicago Park District, so permits and rules come first. Lake wind is a real factor, so we'll steer you toward heavier chairs for anything near the water.
Montrose Harbor and lakefront lawns
Skyline views and open grass for large family parties, subject to Chicago Park District permits and lake wind.
