Nestled in Lincoln Park, Chess Pavilion and North Avenue Beach are popular haunts in this famous parkland. The pavilion was built as a haven for chess players who used to frequent the beach during summers in the 1930s. Made of concrete and limestone, the shelter is ornamented by sculptural chess pieces. The lakefront beach offers several water sports facilities for beachgoers. Chess enthusiasts can gather around the numerous tables, engaging in friendly matches or engaging in spirited discussions about the nuances of the game. A must-visit for lovers of chess.
