I happened to be visiting my friend which lives in an apartment in front of the park. I spent many summers here as I was growing up. For i used to live in the apartment in front of park. Most of my time was spent fishing on Pratt pier, swimming and grilling and Sun Bathing. In winter in the 1970s and 1980s Lake Michigan freezers over. I would walk on the lake on mini ice - bergs. What a blast.

Absolutely gorgeous place to watch the sun rise over lake Michigan. The water is a bit cold but in a good way.

Awesome vibes and views over here. Great place to take an electric scooter

Love Rogers Park beaches for being less crowded and having diverse clientele.

I love to walk out to the end of the pier.

Gives you a great sense of pride when you live in Rogers Park and this park is practically your back yard. Love it!

I really like the feel for this park. When I need to clear my head real quick, its overwatch of the city sets the tone for reflection while reminding me that I have to go back into it again. The pathways are well-kept, clean and reliable. Garbage bins are readily available and at night, the paths are appropriately light...not too blinding to take away from moonlight but lit enough to reinforce a sense of safety. It is not a park for numbers or where I would do a picnic - it is best suitable for a strool of mediation or a run away from the close by traffic.

I love the area. I go regularly.

Beautiful pier, nature walk, grassy area and beach

Beautiful beach and lovely park. Great atmosphere, amazing view of the sunrise. Best place to spend 4th of July.

One of the hidden gems of the city. How many beaches in Chicago do you know with trees right on the sand for shade? Grassy fields nearby for dogs, soccer, etc. Tennis courts, trees to hang hammocks. Pier to stroll and fish off of.

Best beach for kids. Its all sandbar with the only beach trees in Chicago. Excellent time!!

My favorite beach in Chicago! Diverse and welcoming to all cultures without one feeling overwhelmed by others. Beach areas are plentiful. Sitting areas are benches, inclusive sculptures, and the Rogers park Legends 2018 painted wall. A walkable pier and a protected shrubbery sprawl sit adjacent to each other as well.

Ghetto no stars, I did not care for it. I couldnt wait to get home and wash my feet from the dirty sand and I didnt feel safe.

Family oriented pet friendly great neighborhood

Great view and space to visit for some solitude on the beach. Parking is easy and lifeguards are constantly on duty. However it could be kept cleaner.

My favorite spot to run on the lakefront! People are always friendly and I love the beach and nature preserve areas.

An intimate beach park, great place to meet liberally-minded people.

This is such a nice park very peaceful there ️

Great place to lounge around...

Very lively beach and peaceful at the same time.. how strange it is.

One of the best places to go for a short walk on the Northside of the city when you need an escape.

Chilli In the winter but no bowls around

Nice Park and beach.

Clean. Low Traffic. Well staffed with lifeguards.I cannot say enough good things about this beach.Totally a hidden gem.Its not crowded, easy to access and even parking is fairly easy. The beach is clean/well maintained and super well staffed with lifeguards. Police drive through the beach entrance often and theres green space for non-sand fun.

One of the most perfect beach spots in a city of gorgeous beach spots. This is where I come to read and meditate, and am often pleasently interrupted by someone I know or a cute dog that wants to say hi

Its called pratt pier to locals. Its the last lighthouse left on the Northside. Great fishing spot and buts up next to a nature preserve

Perfect morning meditation spot

Love 2 wlk here

Great beach. Often quieter than surrounding areas.

This place I found doing a delivery.its so beautiful

Great family beach. Swimming, tennis, kayaking

Great spot to catch sunrise!

Beautiful park. Clean, well kept, beautiful views from the pier. Great place to play Pokémon Go.

Tranquil, serene, peaceful!

Nice beach and dune, great view of dowtown

Smedium sized beach. Active lifeguards. More dragonflies and bees than most beaches due to protected green space for wildlife on the beach. Good for family.

Very relaxing beach just minutes away from Sheridan/many commodities such as restaurants and bars. Wonderful place to go for a stroll, take a dog or kids, or just sit and think. Lifeguards are on-duty from 11 AM to 7 PM, but there are flags hung every day according to the surf conditions that correspond to whether or not swimming is permitted, caution is advised, or if swimming is prohibited altogether.

A hot coffee from the starbucks and Walking on the pier is one of the best things. Peaceful place with a touch of art on the seatings and painted sky.

Cute shipwreck

Chilly but beautiful stroll in a well kept coastal environment.

Love this beach, it has an iconic painted wall and a cute pier. I’ve been here alone, with groups, and at all times of the day (even past midnight on plenty of occasions) and have never once felt unsafe as a young woman. This beach is also family friendly and is awesome for Pokemon Go players...typically a big group playing with lures and good for gym battles.

Just loved this place. Perfect to live and spend the rest of your life there.

Very cloudy day. Snowed for a short time.

Very low key..1 of my fav for a long time..park/beach/runners path n etc..

Beautiful beach and park

This beach is a great place to re-collect myself after a hard day. Very beautiful.

Nice and clean beach. Some trees and park area as well. Little hidden gem.

Of all the beach parks I have sought out to review, I have to say, Tobey Prinz is the very definition of a C student. It is the very definition of AVERAGE! And I do mean the median average, NOT the mean average.

Just found this beach, loved how clean it was.

Sunrise spot

Really pretty and calm. Wasnt crowded at all

Wonderful place for Pokemon Go and fun family beach. This is the best place for Pokemon Ive ever found.

Its just quite...zzzzzzz...

This beach is a great spot that comes with a pier, painted wall, running track, tennis courts, bird sanctuary. All public and free. Great place to people watch.

Love talking walks looking at the mural painted by everyone!

Close to home. Nice spot to sit and relax. Park District keeps it clean.

I loved this beach. Very scenic and clean

I cant quite compare it to some of the beaches that are nearby, but its still has the same feel. Essentially anyway, even if its not exactly as enjoyable as some of the surrounding beaches. Still cant complain and would choose it over so many beaches all over the world

I grew up at this beach in 1971 to until today. Absolutely one of my favorite spots on Earth.

Beautiful

Small park adjacent to the Lake and beach. The park is clean, police cruise by frequently making it safe. Tennis court and small playing structye, easy access to pier and Lake.

The people that live in the area take good care of the park.

One of my favorite locations along Chicagos vast lakefront and beaches...close to stores for last minute picnic items...beach...pier....wide open spaces....

Love it so much my wife and I had our wedding there

This beach is a great spot that comes with a pier, painted wall, running track, tennis courts, bird sanctuary. All public and free. Great place to people watch.

The Pratt St. Pier is closed

Beautiful.

Really quiet, good area for a quick jog or run

Beautiful beach on the North Side

This is one of my favorite parks and beaches in the city. Its got a variety of places to sit and things to do. Theres play structures, a tennis court, murals, a lighthouse, benches, grilling areas, and of course, the beach.

Just perfect

It is like a vacation place specially in the summer!

Very nice little beach on the north end of the city. Great place to walk your dog in the mornings or go for a run along the water.

Only one bench

Who knew....best kept secret....

Best beach in Chicago!

The best part of living in Chicago is The Lake.

Usually not very busy. It is one of the niceest and relaxed beach in the north side of Chicago; one of my favorites.And there is no parking here.

The beach has some rules:1. No smoking on the beach.2. No dogs allowed.3. Barbeque ashes must be thrown in the red bin.Etc.The sand is with some tree branches and little spikes but as you go in the Nord side the sand is smoother and cleaner. There is no parking.

Great jetty! Looks like theyre gonna repaint the benches. Cant wait to see the new designs!

Peaceful

I love walking my dog here. It is clean and safe.

Nice beach. Great park.

Went here after a recommendation from someone else. Thus is a great neighborhood beach. It wasnt as busy as Loyola Beach, but there was a good number of people out on the beach, walking dogs and hanging out.

Nice

Nice and easy to access to.

Nice sandy beach!

Quiet, calm and safe any day or time... I love living in this area

Very Pretty - peaceful today

I love this beach

Beautiful, hardly felt like we were in Chicago or any big city this morning at this beach. Could use a little litter clean up love.

Lots of open space & fresh air

Nice beach I get out here when am not doing anything

My go to place to visit reflect, take pictures, meet friend..

My favorite beach in Chicago. Peaceful with a great view of the city looking south!

Great beach!

Very nice place although not so large. Walk down the pier is nice but it can be pretty crowded.

Generally clean, very dog-friendly. Plentiful Pokéstops, if thats your thing ;)

Great beach. Stricked rules by police.
