Millennium Park to The Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park

Metra Logo - Link to University Park ScheduleThe Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park is a mere one-hour ride from the Millennium Park (Randolph/Water Street) station in downtown Chicago on the University Park Electric Line.

Once at the University Park station, there are two ways to access the sculpture park.

1. Walking

When you arrive at the University Park station, take a right turn at the bottom of the stairs and walk up the ramp and stairs to the parking lot. Proceed through the parking area and out the entry road. You will see a very tall microwave antenna tower. Across the street from the Metra entry you will find Alumni Way, a paved path that will lead you to the university and the sculpture park.

2. GSU Shuttle

Governors State University runs a free shuttle service* for its students Monday through Saturday that meets several of the trains. Visitors are welcome to use the shuttle to access the sculpture park.
