Parks & Nature
Part of the amazing Lincoln Park (a must visit), this is one of the last remaining free zoos in any city in America. No doubt, it is a perfect way to kill time on a budget. Don't forget to visit the baby gorilla :)

Winnemac Park
5100 N Leavitt StWonderful park nearby the apartment and perfect for a stroll.
The beaches of Lake Michigan right in the heart of the city. This is the closest access from the apartment, but there are beaches all along Lincoln Park. If you want to check out a beach with a lot of dogs, there is a dog park at the beach which is superb for dog watching and wading.
