Visitor Information:
Designed by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Ltd, Piet Oudolf and Robert Israel. Highlights of the garden include the dramatically lit, 15-foot-high "shoulder" hedge. This physical representation of Sandburg's famous description of the "City of Big Shoulders" encloses the garden on two sides and protects the delicate perennial garden. A graceful hardwood footbridge over shallow water divides the garden diagonally between "light" and "dark" plates.
Hours:
The park is open daily from 6am - 11pm.
Visitor Tips:
Start your visit to the park at the Millennium Park Welcome Center located at 201 E. Randolph Street in the Northwest Exelon Pavilion.
