The picnic will be in Dawes Park on Evanston's lakefront, 1700 Sheridan Road between Lake and Greenwood Streets. The park is one block south of Davis Street (six blocks east of the Davis Street Metra and El stops), with street parking. We'll have two grills and four picnic tables at Site C in the center of the park.
Sheridan Road is one way going north along Dawes Park. If you're heading north, take Forest Avenue, go right on Greenwood Avenue for a block and park.
