Did You Know?
World's Fair Host
Jackson Park was the site of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, a pivotal event in American history and architecture.
Landscape Architect
The park's design is largely attributed to Frederick Law Olmsted, the same landscape architect who co-designed Central Park in New York City.
Rising from Ashes
After the World's Fair, much of the park was intentionally burned down. It was then redesigned and rebuilt into the park we know today.
Sky Landing
Jackson Park is home to 'Sky Landing', a sculpture by Yoko Ono, offering a place for contemplation and connection.
