Jackson Park is a sprawling green space with a rich history, thanks to the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. It’s got everything from beaches to lagoons, plus a golf course for those who like to swing in style. The Osaka Garden brings a peaceful, Zen vibe amidst the urban sprawl. Whether you're into picnics or paddle boats, this South Side gem has you covered. Pro tip: pretend you're cultured by visiting the Museum of Science and Industry right next door.
