Party in an urban garden

The Gateway Park is an urban garden nestled between the Navy Pier and Lake Point Tower. It was created to alleviate congestion in the area and allow views of the entrance of Navy Pier. Its most striking feature is a black marble fountain with jets controlled by a computer program. The jets of water come suddenly and unpredictably, much loved by children wishing to escape the summer heat. As you can see in the photos, my son would not be outdone and joined the party ...

The Gateway Park, as urban space...

El Gateway Park, como espacio urbano,...

El Gateway Park, como espacio urbano, pasó inadevertido para mi. Sus limites se cruzan con el Espacio Público peatonal para entrar al Navy Pier, y en el lugar hay una sola lectura espacial. De hecho, es lo que su diseño pretendía; ser un espacio que amablemente uniera el muelle con la ciudad sin afectar la bahía, y si que esta muy bien logrado. Lo que si me detuvo fue la fuente. Un cubo en mármol que tira agua de distintos sitios, te distrae a lo loco. El sólo ver el monumento es una gozada. Bueno, y mi hijo lo pasó genial. Saliendo del muelle, con el calor que hacía y estando a tan poca distancia del hotel, Nicolás simplemente se quitó la camiseta y en pantalón corto comenzó a refrescarse de lo lindo. Consejo materno (si visitáis Chicago en verano con niños): Lleva recambio de ropa, en casi todos los parques hay espacios lúdicos para refrescarse.
The Gateway Park, as urban space inadevertido happened to me. Its boundaries are crossed with pedestrian public space to enter the Navy Pier, and where space is a single reading. In fact, its design is intended, to be a space dock kindly join with the city without affecting the bay, and yes it is very well done. What if I stopped was the source. A marble cube that pulls water from different sites, distracts you like crazy. Just seeing the monument is a joy. Well, my son went great. Leaving the dock, with how hot it was and being so close to the hotel, Nicholas simply took off his shirt and shorts began to cool than cute. Mother Board (if you visit Chicago in the summer with children): Bring change of clothes, in almost all parks are recreational spaces for cooling.
