Chicago’s Community Area #15, Portage Park which is a thriving residential community and neighborhood on Chicago’s Northwest side just 9 miles from downtown. Annexed to Chicago in 1889, Portage Park offers the wonderful duality of city living and convenience with a real neighborhood-based residential community. Centered on the namesake park within the community and neighborhood, this area was part of a portage for Native American tribes and later by European explorers and trappers.  Riders will also get to examine fantastic buildings designed by legendary names such as Walter Burley Griffin, Dwight Perkins and Arthur Hussander.
