My friends threw my shower in a park - the same place I had previously thrown them a wedding shower. With the weather we are having lately, that might be a lovely solution for this time of year (unless you are planning for October or later, of course)
My particular park was in Evanston, so wouldn't work for you, but there are plenty to choose from downtown on the lake.
