Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Lincoln Park

The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool is a tranquil and beautiful hidden garden designed by landscape architect Alfred Caldwell. This prairie-style garden features a meandering stone path, a serene lily pool, a pavilion, and a council ring, surrounded by native plants. It is a peaceful oasis within Lincoln Park, providing a quiet escape for visitors. The Lily Pool is currently undergoing restoration, with the pavilion reconstruction nearing completion. The site will reopen in June, coinciding with the blooming of its waterlilies. Visitors are encouraged to stay updated through the Conservancy’s website, social media, and newsletter.
