| Additional Information: | 2011- Lake Michigan Parkway North is comprised of numerous adjacent parks along the Lake Michigan shoreline, some of which were developed prior to 1923. Although the parkway was included in Whitnall's initial vision of the county parkway system, it was not included in the Park Commission's Annual Report text until 1927. Although several of the parks comprising Lake Michigan Parkway North were established prior to 1923, they were included in Whitnall's initial plan for the parkway system. Lincoln Memorial Drive, completed in 1930, provides vehicular access to the parks encompassed by the parkway: Lake Park, Bradford Beach, McKinley Park, Veteran's Park, and Juneau Park. |
