About The Green

The 1.5-acre park features 10,000 SF of green space, lush landscaping, seating alcoves, and an amphitheater. Circling the oval-shaped lawn, The Green’s pedestrian paths run northeast to southwest, promoting connections between Union Station and the evolving West Loop. In addition to the Main Lawn, the park includes a variety of smaller spaces that allow for a range of events and activities, including onsite dining—all set against the backdrop of the iconic headhouse.

The Green at 320 offers a robust schedule of programming, including live music, fitness classes, a farmers market, arts & cultural performances, and more – all free and open to the public.

How The Green
Came to Be

The Green at 320 South Canal is the largest privately owned public park in Chicago’s Central Business District. In June of 2022, Riverside Investment & Development and Convexity Properties opened The Green as a part of the 320 South Canal development adjacent to Union Station. The park was designed by award-winning Chicago-based architects Goettsch Partners and landscape architecture firm Confluence.
