Lincoln Park Conservancy
About
Make it a whimsical and romantic event to remember at Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool! Surrounded by the natural beauty and privacy of a unique National Historic Landmark in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, you’ll fall in love all over again with the Lily Pool’s architecturally significant pavilion, cascading waterfall, and native plantings.
Perfect for intimate gatherings, the Lily Pool can accommodate up to16 guests and is seasonally open from May to October. As you step through the Prairie-style Fullerton gate and stroll through a hidden garden that’s both dreamy and tranquil, you’ll feel yourself transported away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago to a relaxing, serene Midwestern prairie.
The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago's Lincoln Park is a unique outdoor location for an intimate wedding ceremony surrounded by nature. Designed by Alfred Caldwell in 1936, the Lily Pool and surrounding gardens includes a pavilion, serene paths, and native plantings.
After decades of erosion and damage, the Lily Pool was completely restored in 2002 to Caldwell's original design by the Lincoln Park Conservancy which now co-manages the site with the Chicago Park District.
