Review:
Lane Beach is a public beach in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, located at the terminus of Thorndale Avenue at the Lake Michigan shoreline. The beach, which was known as Thorndale Avenue Beach and Park throughout much of the 20th century, was renamed in 1975 in honor of philanthropist and civic leader George A. Lane. Since 1959, it has been operated by the Chicago Park District as one of the city's 18 public municipal street-end beaches, offering opportunities for public swimming between Memorial Day and Labor Day each year. Lifeguards are staffed on duty in season, with ADA-accessible features offered, including a soft-surface accessible children's playground. Limited street parking is available nearby, with bus and Red Line rapid transit stops located nearby.
