Humboldt Park
Humboldt Park is a large park in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood on the western side of the city. Several intertwining loops intersect the park. East of Humboldt Dr., follow a loop around the big lagoon to look for ducks in the open water, as well as Great Blue Herons, Green Herons and Black-crowned Night-Herons along the water’s edge and warblers among the tree tops.
