Planned as the northernmost of a series of man-made islands in Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago, Northerly Island was completed in the 1930s and became a unique public area in the heart of the city. It initially hosted the 1933-34 World’s Fair and later became home to Meigs Field, a small airport serving private and corporate planes from 1947 to 2003.In 2003, then-Mayor Richard M. Daley had Meigs Field’s runway removed overnight to restore the land for public use. This controversial move paved the way for the ecological restoration of the island, transforming it into the park it is today. Northerly Island now offers walking trails, wildlife habitats, prairie and wetland areas, and the Huntington Bank Pavilion, a popular outdoor concert venue, combining urban nature with recreational and cultural activities. ## Gallery - **Alt text**: Northerly Island Park - Banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/c9/56f275bc104c43876bfc58148daa20/fln.png - **Alt text**: Northerly Island Park - Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/transup/33/799461d33c4eb5b5751737b8a735d5/sj.png ## Activity Tags - **Tags**: Theme Parks, Outdoor, Hangout, Parks & Gardens, Nature, Hiking, Walking Tours ## Popular Events in Chicago - **Event Name**: Foliage Fest 2026 - **Date**: Sat, 12 Sep at 11:00 am - **Location**: Ted's Greenhouse - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tinley-park/foliage-fest-2026-tickets/80001800027324 - **Event Name**: Chasing Sun(Sets) III — JOEZI x MASSUMA - **Date**: Sat, 19 Sep at 12:00 pm - **Location**: Castaways Beach Club - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/chasing-sunsets-iii-—-joezi-x-massuma-tickets/80003431876974 - **Event Name**: Just Announced - Chicago - Top Shelf Tequila and Whiskey Tasting Festival - September 26 AE - **Date**: Sat, 26 Sep at 02:30 pm - **Location**: Kings Dining & Entertainment - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/just-announced-chicago-top-shelf-tequila-and-whiskey-tasting-festival-september-26-ae-tickets/80006975145116 - **Event Name**: Event Planning Certification Training at Chicago Marriott Downtown | September 19, 2026 - **Date**: Sat, 19 Sep at 09:00 am - **Location**: Chicago Marriott Downtown - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/event-planning-certification-training-at-chicago-marriott-downtown-september-19-2026-tickets/80007537667302 - **Event Name**: PMP Certification 4 Days Training in Chicago, IL - **Date**: Tue, 22 Sep - **Location**: Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/pmp-certification-4-days-training-in-chicago-il-tickets/80001131231963 - **Event Name**: Sober October: Chicago Zero Proof Halloween Bar Crawl - **Date**: Sat, 10 Oct at 04:00 pm - **Location**: Chicago - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/sober-october-chicago-zero-proof-halloween-bar-crawl-tickets/80003820426335 ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Northerly Island Park", "description": "Northerly Island Park is a 119.7-acre park situated along the Lake Michigan shoreline on Chicago’s beautiful Museum Campus.
