"Lincoln Park, Lakeview. The city's – and one of the country's – largest park, Lincoln Park is a behemoth. The main stretch of course lies to the south of Lakeview in the neighborhood that bears its name. But, a good deal of the park still spans north into Lakeview and onward. With over 1,200 acres in total, Lincoln Park has something for any outdoorsy city goer – biking, running, tennis, golf, etc. Lakeview's portion also includes one of the best kept hideaways, in and around the Jarvis Migratory Bird Sanctuary behind Belmont Harbor. From Diversey Avenue to Irving Park Road, the park is the city's best break from the concrete jungle."
