DuSable Park (Chicago)

DuSable Park is a former commercial and industrial site in Chicago, Illinois. It is located at the mouth of the Chicago River that has been the subject of environmental remediation and is undergoing redevelopment into a public park. The project, first announced in 1987 by Mayor Harold Washington, is named in honor of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, who settled nearby in the 1780s and is known as the "Founder of Chicago". For decades, the project has awaited completion of remediation, funding, and agreements to develop. The development at 400 Lake Shore began construction in 2024.
