Humboldt Park Natural Area

West Town, Chicago

🌾Peak bloom is mid-summer when grasses tower overhead
🦅Bring binoculars for herons and migrating waterfowl
🪵Fallen logs along lagoon are turtle sunbathing spots

A 52-acre restored prairie tucked inside a beloved Chicago park, where native wildflowers, grasses, and oak savanna attract migratory birds and wildlife. Winding trails lead past a tranquil lagoon where herons and turtles rule.
