This secretive spot just north of the Lincoln Park Zoo is a quaint, calm hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. No matter the season, the canopy of trees and chirping birds will provide a peaceful place to take a mental hiatus. If you don't have time to sit under the shaded pavillion and take in the scenery, at least pass through to the zoo via the gate at the northeast end of the garden.
