Love Chicago. Seems to have its own version of Central Park. What is it called?

^^ Grant Park is I think the largest, the northern part of which is known as Millennium Park, as above. This was recently developed in the 2000s and includes the Pritzker Pavilion by Frank Gehry. There is also Lincoln Park, north of North Michigan Avenue (and more residential).
