[4K] Humboldt Park | Fall 2022 Walking Tour

Описание: (This was just in time for Halloween, so I thought it would be fitting to start with the park’s festive decor.)

I like walking through Humboldt Park. It’s a green oasis in the middle of a stone and brick neighborhood. Specifically, Humboldt Park is a 197.26-acre park in the West Side of Chicago that sits prominently in the historic Humboldt Park neighborhood, one of Chicago’s 77 designated neighborhoods. It was built to be a respite from the city. Today, it’s a Puerto Rican cultural enclave, home to music, food, recreation, and more throughout the week.

I love overhearing the conversations of older Afro-Latinos I see huddled together for morning chats, the sounds of ducks moving along and over the river, the birdsongs (it's an Audubon's dreamscape — I saw some sort of raptor after I ended my walk), and the odd mix of sirens, runners, chatty dog parents, curious kids, and the crunchy leaves of the Fall season. You see everything from flowers to small tent encampments along the park's perimeter, and you are a short walk away from some of the city's best espresso shops and bakeries.

Take a walk with me along a few loops past woodland, wetland, prairie, savanna, and lagoon habitats.
