Last Thursday, June 24th marked the official opening for the much awaited Lincoln Park Zoo Nature Boardwalk. Surrounding the perimeter of South Pond, this revitalized 8-acre landscape will provide a haven for native birds, frogs, fish, insects and mammals while serving as an outdoor classroom for students of all ages.
Lincoln Park Zoo President and CEO Kevin J. Bell comments, “This has been in the works for quite a number of years. Seven years ago, we started thinking of new ways to talk about the environment and ecology. We realized that we have this pond on the south side of the zoo, and we decided to turn it into something meaningful and different. A place not just for the people in the park but also for exotic wildlife as well.” Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and State Representative Sara Feigenholtz were also on hand to celebrate this great new addition to Chicago’s Park District.
Just as the new Nature Boardwalk provides an enriched environment for all of the native wildlife, Lucien Lagrange’s newest architectural feat, Lincoln Park 2520, will provide a decadent urban oasis to its residents. With a one acre private lawn and garden, soaring balconies and panoramic views, fitness center and indoor lap swimming pool, meeting rooms, a comfortable lounge, screening theater, meditation room and an elegant clubroom with a catering kitchen for your entertaining needs; these condo residences are luxury at its finest.
