HISTORY OF THE PARK: “In 1988 the Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park was formed via a collaboration between the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, the Village of Skokie and private citizens. These citizens incorporated as a private not-for-profit corporation with a mission to select, install and maintain a world-class sculpture exhibition and to provide educational programs to enhance the appreciation of these exhibits. Now the park displays more than 60 large scale contemporary sculptures by artists of local, national and international reputation.”
Directions: The Sculpture Park does not have an exact address and is adjacent to McCormick Blvd on the west and the North Channel of the Chicago River on the east. We will start in Section I which is between Dempster St on the north and Main St on the south. The parking lot entrance is located at mid-section I on the east side of McCormick Blvd opposite Capitol St on the west.
Directions: Kabul House Restaurant is located on the southeast corner of Dempster St and McDaniel Ave very near the park.
