Chicago: On the border of Lakeview and Lincoln Park

The reason it is Diversey: Lincoln Park (the park, not the neighborhood) enters its "extension" portion when it goes north of Diversey. First, the park's width shrinks as its border moves eastword and second its attractons (harbors, sports, swimming, etc.) become strictly recreational. In a sense (and with an apology to anyone with a boat in Belmont Harbor), the "real" Lincoln Park stops at Diversey.

Good explanation.

Thanks for showing my neighborhood. (I'm a little closer to Belmont though) I moved to the area last year and don't regret a single bit of it.
