The Playpen is Chicago's legendary lakefront marina and gathering spot on Lake Michigan, just north of Navy Pier. Every summer it becomes the backdrop for the Chicago Scene Boat Party and other large-scale water events, where dozens of boats raft together for floating celebrations. The adjacent Ohio Street Beach makes it a top warm-weather destination.
