Walton Island Park

It's a beautiful place to walk. We even took our engagement photos there. So many beautiful vignettes of landscaping and places to appreciate the surroundings.

A lovely little park in the middle of the Fox River with a nice trail near the park itself. Many beautiful plants on the island, nice places to fish, a great view of the Kimball Street boiling point in the north. In the middle of the island is a little pond in of itself.

This place can be hit or miss. Sometimes I am left alone, sometimes not. Once there was a droid that hovered 20 feet above me for 5 minutes. If not for privacy intrusions- I would rate it a 5. It has great view of Hemmens, Gail Borden Library, and the Chicago Tower. You are surrounded by the river, a couple of pedestrian bridges, lots of native plants and waterfowl. Lots of great photo ops here . There are stone, wood and metal benches, ample grass and steps to sit or spread a blanket on. Lots fish here. It is nice because people let me play maracas and do yoga here without fuss.

Nice park, a little rough ride on road bike though, bumpy trail section.
