Fodor's Review:

One of Hyde Park's gems is Jackson Park, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also designed Central Park in New York City) for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. It has lagoons, a Japanese garden with authentic Japanese statuary, and the Wooded Island, a nature retreat with wildlife and 300 species of birds.
