Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lincoln Park is a 1,208 acre park along the Chicago, Illinois lakefront, facing Lake Michigan. Lincoln Park is Chicago's largest public park. The park, named after Abraham Lincoln, stretches for seven miles from Ohio Street on the south to near Ardmore Avenue on the north, just north of the Lake Shore Drive terminus at Hollywood Avenue. The Lincoln Park Zoo and museums are located between North Avenue and Diversey Parkway in the neighborhood that takes its name from the park, Lincoln Park. The park further to the north is characterized by parkland, beaches, recreational areas, nature reserves, and harbors. To the south, there is a more narrow strip of beaches east of Lake Shore Drive, almost to downtown. Lincoln Park, with 20 million visitors a year, is the second most visited park in the United States.
