Bridgeport · Directions
Palmisano Park remakes a former quarry into wetlands, a fishing pond, exposed stone walls, an athletic field, running track, and a high point with Chicago skyline views.
More than 1.7 miles of paths mix concrete, crushed stone, recycled-timber boardwalk, and metal grating. The hill, steps, and varied surfaces make route choice more important than the modest mileage suggests.
