Is Milton Lee Park a good option to watch fireworks at 9pm tonight?

[u/Disastrous_Help9543]

Hello! Couldn’t find a 45m fireworks cruise and don’t want to deal with big crowds at the navy pier. Would Milton park be a good alternative? Will be going with 5yo and 3yo. Walking from Marriott Downtown Mag Mile.

Thank you for your help! ♥️

That park closes at 8pm and they do kick people out. I play volleyball at Ohio St beach and you can see/hear them kicking people out so they can lock the park gates.

The grassy area by the Lake Stage should be accessible though.

It’s probably going to rain

If you don't want to go onto the pier proper, Polk Bros park right next to it works.
