Goose Island
Goose Island sits in Chicago at the bend of the North Branch, a former industrial island now reimagined for innovation, arts, and the outdoors. Weekends often start on the water along the Wild Mile, where floating gardens, boardwalks, and habitat tours make urban ecology feel hands-on and close-up; explore programming and access points through Wild Mile Chicago’s official site. Live music fans gravitate to The Salt Shed, a striking riverside venue built from the old Morton Salt complex that now hosts concerts, markets, and seasonal pop-ups. A few blocks away, The Hideout keeps the neighborhood’s creative spirit humming with intimate shows and community events. And yes, the namesake brewery still plays a role nearby—taste classic and experimental releases at the Goose Island Clybourn Brewhouse.
Families appreciate access to strong schools just beyond the island, including Ogden International School of Chicago and Walter Payton College Preparatory High School. When you want a breather, the riverfront lawns and playgrounds at A. Montgomery Ward Park offer skyline views and easy picnic space. Commuters have quick connections via the CTA Red Line at North/Clybourn, plus bike-friendly routes that link to River West, Wicker Park, and Lincoln Park.
