Beach Park Fest
Welcome from the Mayor
Beach Park is linked to other lakeshore communities by a Pace bus line running along Sheridan Road, and the Metra Chicago & North Western/North Line with stations in Waukegan and Zion. Access to Chicago and Milwaukee can also be attained via Interstate 94.
Pace Bus 847-364-PACE (7223) - Pace is the premier suburban transit provider, quickly moving people to work and school safely and efficiently. The backbone of Chicago's suburbs, Pace serves 130,000 daily riders with 240 routes, 450 vanpools and many Dial-a-Ride programs. Pace covers 3,500 square miles and is the 14th largest bus service in North America.
Metra Train 312-322-6777 - Flexible schedules and convenient connections make Metra, northeast Illinois' commuter rail system, great for family travel to recreation and fun.
