What is Lincoln Park?
[[File:Full chicago skyline.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Aerial view of seven mile long Lincoln Park shoreline]] '''Lincoln Park''' is a 1,208 acre (488.86 ha) park along the lakefront of [[Chicago, Illinois]]' North Side, facing [[Lake Michigan]]. It is Chicago's largest [[public park]]. It is named after [[Abraham Lincoln]]. It stretches for seven miles (11 km) from Ohio Street (600 N) on the south to near Ardmore Avenue (5800 N) on the north, just north of the [[Lake Shore Drive]] terminus at Hollywood Avenue. Several museums and a [[zoo]] are located between North Avenue (1600 N) and Diversey Parkway (2800 N) in the [[Neighbourhood|neighborhood]] that takes its name from the park, Lincoln Park. The park further to the north is surrounded 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. With 20 million visitors a year, Lincoln Park is the second most visited park in the United States (after [[New York City]]'s [[Central Park]]). [[Category:Parks in Chicago]] {{us-geo-stub}}
