Hiking
Greenwood Street Beach is typically open from late May through mid August and offers accessible swimming for those with disabilities. This boulder-backed strip of sand along the Lake Michigan shore does require either a pass (free to Evanston residents residing in certain nearby zip codes) or a daily fee.
