Arthur Ashe Beach Park, situated along Lake Michigan in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood at 2701 E. 74th St., is a 2.31-acre waterfront escape offering a blend of natural beauty and community-driven charm[1][3]. Known for its light golden sands and tranquil atmosphere, this lesser-known gem provides a serene alternative to busier Chicago beaches[3]. The park features a playground, tennis courts, and picnic areas, making it ideal for family gatherings and outdoor activities[1][5]. Named after tennis legend Arthur Ashe in 1993, the park honors his legacy of advocacy and his efforts to inspire youth through sports[1][5].
