Grant Park is a large urban park ( 319 acres or 1. 29 kmĀ² ) in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Located in Chicago's central business district, the park's most notable features are Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum Campus.
Originally known as Lake Park, and dating from the city's founding, it was renamed in 1901 to honor Ulysses S. Grant.
The park's area has been expanded several times through land reclamation, and was the focus of several disputes in the late 1800s and early 1900s over open space use.
It is bordered on the north by Randolph Street, on the south by McFetridge Drive, on the west by Michigan Avenue and on the east by Lake Michigan.
The park contains performance venues, gardens, art work, sporting, and harbor facilities.
It hosts public gatherings, and several large annual events.
