The public boat house, operated by the Park District of the City of Chicago, accommodates kayaks, canoes, and crew boats. The boat house also provides boat storage, locker rooms, a multipurpose gathering space, staff offices and an elevated, covered observation terrace. The building’s streamlined, sweeping roof design draws its inspiration from the highly refined form of competition oar blades.
This is something I'm really excited about. I have been researching inflatable kayaks as a solution to wanting to put in at that spot (since I live a few blocks away). I guess by 2010ish there will be an actual dock for the cheaper hard-shell kayaks!
