Review:
Howard Beach Park is a 3.93-acre public park and beachfront in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. The park was developed in the early 20th century as a response to apartment-dweller population growth in the city's Far North Side, named in honor of prominent 20th-century Chicago banker Howard Ure, a descendant of one of the city's famed early pioneer families. Since 1959, the park has been overseen by the Chicago Park District, though the beach has been operated as a municipal beach since at least 1921. Today, visitors can swim at the beach when lifeguards are on duty between Memorial Day and Labor Day or relax within the park's green spaces, which are home to a children's playground and ample public seating. Limited street parking is available nearby, with public access provided via the city's CTA buses and Red Line rapid transit system.
