Jackson Park Problem Reports
This site is a project of the Jackson Park Advisory Council. Its goal is to allow users of Jackson Park to report issues that they would like the council to amplify.
The council will review issues periodically and decide on how to move them forward.
We encourage users to also report issues to Chicago 311 and the Park District.

Jackson Park: Condition Assessment of Phase 3 Area
1 park visitors share this problem
Description:
Illegal parking was observed in and near the 59th Street Harbor. CPD employees were trimming weeds at trees around the area but had no interest in reporting the illegal parking. I believe this is a regular occurrence. I did take a picture of a McCollister truck. Maybe we should write to them for a donation to the Chicago Park District for their parking space!Location:

Description:
I am writing a General Note that typical of the other areas I have walked in the past few months, the Phase 3 area has significant landscape overgrowth (especially around the harbor bridge at Lake Shore Drive and south of the poorly maintained tennis courts...horrific!), distressed trees, pot holes seemingly everywhere, incomplete work at new construction, a missing monument or two, etc. There is no point to continue to take the same pictures of this area as it is consistent with the other areas I have walked.Location:
The Phase 3 Area is just off Lake Shore Drive at Science Drive, then north to the edge of the Griffin museum, then south including the 59th Street Harbor to the area north of the poorly maintained tennis courts, west around the harbor to all of the parking areas excluding the Darrow Bridge.Observed: 2024-08-17

Description:
Lakefront Trail crossing of 63rd Street beach parking lot entrance is extremely unsafe for vulnerable users. Turning drivers do not yield to Trail users consistently and are frequently traveling at high speeds. Drivers exiting parking lot do not stop at stop bars and make illegal right. Turns on red on to the drive. Consider camera enforcement or an underpass or rerouting Trail via underpasses to travel on the west side of DuSable Lakeshore Drive through this area to avoid conflict. It is only a matter of time before there is a fatality at this crossing.Location:

1 park visitors share this problem
Description:
This very poorly marked crosswalk where the park path intersects the exit from DSLSD is very unsafe. At the very least, the crosswalk needs to be repainted, and stop signs need to be added. Ideally, this would be a raised crosswalk and there would also be a speed bump on Science Drive, as especially with no visual/physical cues it's hard for drivers exiting DSLSD to transition from the fast highway mode to a safe park speed. Drivers exiting DSLSD here often miss the existence of this crosswalk and speed through it - endangering vulnerable road users like the one pictured.Location:
