Hiking

The BP Pedestrian Bridge is a cantilevered pedestrian bridge over Columbus Drive that connects Millennium Park with Daley Bicentennial Plaza, both of which are part of Grant Park. The pedestrian bridge is the first bridge built by Gehry. It was named after the international energy company BP, which donated $5 million to the park's construction. It opened on July 16, 2004, along with the rest of Millennium Park.

The futuristic-looking bridge blends in wonderfully with the architecture of the city and its style goes well with the famous Cloud Gate right next to it. On the lake side there is a skater track and an artificial climbing wall.
