In 2014, the Polk family, longtime supporters of community and culture, made a legacy gift to transform Navy Pier’s entryway into an engaging outdoor experience for all.
Designed as a gathering place and a green oasis, Polk Bros Park connects the city and the lake through open lawns, performance spaces, and pathways that guide visitors to the Pier’s main attractions.
It was, of course, also our entrance point to the rest of the Navy Pier, exciting place of entertainment for all ages. Visit next space in our collection.
