About this event
Chicago Adventure Therapy and the Park District run free climbing sessions on the old ore walls at Steelworkers Park, a stretch of post-industrial lakefront most visitors never reach. Harness, helmet and shoes are all included, so complete beginners from age six upward can simply turn up and get on the rock. Under-18s climb with an adult.
Why we picked it
Free outdoor climbing on a decommissioned steel-mill wall: the most distinctive free sport session in the city.
