Review & FAQ:
Leone Beach is one of Chicago's 18 street-end municipal beaches, located at the terminus of Touhy Avenue at the Lake Michigan shoreline within the city's Rogers Park neighborhood. The beach is located at the site of a former Rogers Park Water Company pumping station, which was acquired by the city's Bureau of Parks and Recreation in 1919 and renamed in honor of former Bureau lifeguard supervisor Sam Leone in 1966.
Today, public swimming is offered at the beach between Memorial Day and Labor Day each year, with lifeguards staffed on duty during certain times.
Distance swimming is offered parallel to the shoreline between Lunt and Farwell Avenues, with a kayak launch available nearby for public use. On the shoreline, the beach's public park area offers an ADA-accessible children's playground, with baseball fields, tennis courts, and other athletic activities offered at its public field house.
Address: Leone Beach, 1222 W. Touhy Ave, Chicago, IL 60626, Phone: 312-74-BEACH
