Chicago Women's Park and Gardens

Chicago Women's Park and Gardens is a 3.23 acre public sculpture garden in South Loop that honors the contributions of women throughout the history of Chicago. Landscape architect Mimi McKay and architect Tannys Langdon designed the space. Its "Helping Hands" sculpture by Louise Bourgeois honors Jane Addams.[1][2] Its fieldhouse was formerly the National Vietnam Veteran’s Art Museum before the museum was relocated to Portage Park.
