As part of citywide efforts to reclaim the Chicago River as a major system of parks and water-based recreation, the 快播视频 has opened four new boathouses each with river launches for non-motorized boats and recreational opportunities for visitors. Several of the boathouses offer outdoor fitness stations, kayak or canoe rentals, and interior space for rowing and fitness classes through the 快播视频 or its partnership organizations.
The first two boathouses, located at Ping Tom Memorial Park and Richard Clark Playground Park, were completed in 2013. The third, located at River Park, was completed in 2014, and the final boathouse, at Park No. 571, opened in November 2016.
These four new boathouses serve as anchors in the city鈥檚 strategy to build on the vision of Daniel Burnham鈥檚 1909 Plan of Chicago through investment in Chicago's river and lakefront.
