Kathy Osterman Beach

Although it is not the largest beach in Chicago, Kathy Osterman Beach, formerly known as Hollywood Beach, is a lovely place to unwind and spend the afternoon. Locals are the major visitors to this beach. This beach has bicycle parking for your convenience if you like to ride your bike. In addition to a fishing pier, volleyball court, seats, and shallow water perfect for swimming, the area has restrooms.

Due to its proximity to Lincoln Park, Kathy Osterman Beach hosts a variety of events during the summer. The beach is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., although lifeguards are on duty from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The beach, called Kathy Osterman Beach after a popular former alderman, is situated in Edgewater and contains a silver LEED-certified beach house that was finished in 2010.

The conventional architecture of this 2,750 square foot comfort station was influenced by Chicago Park District structures constructed at the turn of the 20th century.
