Maggie Daley Park is a 20-acre (81,000 m2) public park in the Loop community area of Chicago. It is near the Lake Michigan shoreline in northeastern Grant Park where Daley Bicentennial Plaza previously stood. Designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh, the park had its ceremonial ribbon cutting on December 13, 2014, and is named for Maggie Daley, the former first lady of the city who died in 2011. This Grant Park section is bounded by Randolph Street, Monroe, Columbus and Lake Shore Drives. The park, which cost $60 million, began construction two years before the 2014 opening. It is connected to Millennium Park by the BP Pedestrian Bridge.
