Millennium Park

I was very interested in the Professor Yood's discussion of Millennium Park. The city parks that I grew up with were only green spaces. They were places that were meant to relax and get away from the city. Yet Millennium park is the opposite. It is a feast of entertainment and there are constantly event going on in the space. Even it's very location is unusual it is right in the heart of the business center of the city. And while in the park you are surrounded my skyscrapers. That fact that you are in the heart of city is all around you when you are in the park. The presence of large metal structures and concrete boulevards through the park create an interesting city meets park feeling. That as Professor Yood said is unique.
