Polk Bros Park is a 13-acre space at Chicago's Navy Pier and serves as a vibrant "front lawn" for the iconic pier. The park features the Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion, which includes restrooms, seating, a 35-foot digital screen, LED lighting, and a green roof. The Polk Bros Fountain is a 100-foot-wide interactive water feature with 147 jets creating engaging mist tunnels. The Polk Bros Performance Lawns is at the park's south end and includes City Stage and Lake Stage, which can accommodate 700-1,700 people for various events. The park hosts concerts, film screenings, fitness classes, and public art exhibitions, throughout the year, making it a must-visit if exploring the area.
