  • The beaches in Chicago are an extensive network of waterfront recreational areas operated by the Chicago Park District. The Chicago metropolitan waterfront includes parts of the Lake Michigan shores as well as parts of the banks of the Chicago, Des Plaines, Calumet, Fox, and DuPage Rivers and their tributaries. The waterfront also includes the Illinois and Michigan Canal and the Sanitary and Ship Canal. Historically, the waterfront has been used for commerce, industry, and leisure. Leisure, such as fishing, swimming, hunting, walking and boating, was much more prevalent throughout the river sections of the waterfront system early in the 19th century before industrial uses altered the landscape. By midcentury, much leisure shifted to Lake Michigan as a result of industrial influence. The first City of Chicago Public Beach opened in Lincoln Park in 1895. Today, the entire 28 miles (45 km) Chicago lakefront shoreline is reclaimed land, and primarily used for public parks. In the parks, there are 24 sand beaches along the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan. Typically, Chicago beaches take the name of the east-west street that runs perpendicular to the lake at each beach's location. (en)
  • Cet article dresse une liste des plages de Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois. La ville comprend à l'intérieur de ses limites un total de 33 plages qui sont pour la plupart dotées d'espaces de détente, de lieux de loisirs et d'équipements sportifs. Bordée par le lac Michigan, la ville de Chicago possède un front de lac d'environ 45 kilomètres de rivage ainsi que des parties des rives des rivières Chicago, Des Plaines, Calumet, Fox et DuPage. Le front de lac intègre également le canal Illinois et Michigan et le canal sanitaire et fluvial de Chicago (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal). Historiquement, le front de lac de Chicago était utilisé pour le commerce, l'industrie et les loisirs. Des loisirs tels que la pêche, la natation, la chasse, la marche et la navigation de plaisance étaient beaucoup plus répandus dans toutes les sections du fleuve du système de bord de l'eau au début du XIXe siècle avant que les utilisations industrielles aient modifié le paysage. Au milieu du siècle, beaucoup de loisirs ont été déplacés vers le lac Michigan à la suite de l'influence industrielle. La première plage publique de la ville de Chicago à ouvrir fut celle de Lincoln Park en 1895. L'ensemble des plages qui sont situées dans la ville de Chicago est sous la responsabilité du Chicago Park District, l'organisme chargé de l'entretien des parcs et des espaces verts municipaux. En règle générale, les plages de Chicago prennent le nom de la rue est-ouest qui est perpendiculaire au lac Michigan. (fr)
