Chicago Park District

The Chicago Park District manages North Pond Natural Area, a 13-acre habitat located within Lincoln Park that features native aquatic wetlands and prairie environments. This restored natural area serves as a vital sanctuary for migratory birds and local wildlife, benefiting from both park district maintenance and dedicated volunteer efforts.

North Pond is characterized by its paved and crushed gravel paths that encircle the pond, providing access for visitors to enjoy birding and the diverse flora and fauna. The area is a testament to conservation efforts, having been transformed from a former dumping ground into a thriving ecological space that supports various species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects.
