Visiting Steelworker's Park you will find the complex entanglements of nature returning to this site of former industry, where cottonwood trees grow alongside ore walls, and the lake's wave pass through barge slips.
Also, later that evening at Steelworkers Park: The Chicago Astronomer Joe Guzman will be offering public telescope viewing until 2:00am.
This free program is presented as part of the Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks series.

Bridget Bancroft is going to be leading a yoga session during the first hour. We are going to set up in an open field overlooking the lake to practice grounding down and rooting ourselves through breath and movement while playing an acoustic set inspired by the nature that surrounds us. After that, El will switch to solar powered amplifiers to accompany movement exercises and dancing.
