Stop on this walk
Uranus
Fountain Girl (Frances Willard Fountain), Lincoln Park
📍 The fountain sits in its own low iron enclosure surrounded by planting — easy to ride straight past. Come at it from the path on the south side, where the boulder and the figure read against the trees.
At true scale: 3.7 in (9.4 cm) across
About this place
3.34 miles from the sundial and down to 3.7 inches. Uranus is where the walk stops being about the city and starts being about how much nothing there is between planets.
While you're here
- Lincoln Park Green space The garden beds around the fountain are at their best in late summer. The zoo and the conservatory are both a short walk north, and both are free.

Back to the Lakefront Trail and keep north — another mile and three quarters. Neptune is a thirty-foot green figure you will spot from a long way off.
