Driving, transit & timing
Driving
Take Lake Shore Drive to the Diversey Parkway exit and head west to 248 W Diversey Pkwy. The harbor is immediately on the lake side of the drive.
Transit & rideshare
CTA buses run along Diversey Parkway and Clark Street in Lincoln Park. Rideshare drop-offs should use 248 W Diversey Pkwy, then walk down to the harbor.
Timing
Arrive at least 45 minutes before your scheduled departure. Chicago lakefront traffic and parking on summer weekends can eat that buffer quickly.
At the dock
Check in with our staff at Diversey Harbor — A Dock. Bring a physical government-issued photo ID and the card used to make the reservation.
Parking
Where to park at Diversey Harbor
Parking is street and public lakefront parking near Diversey Harbor — it is not reserved for Skyline Jetski, and it fills up on warm weekends. Read the posted signs carefully before leaving your car, and plan extra time to find a spot.
Most riders park in the metered lakefront lots and street spaces along W Diversey Pkwy and N Cannon Dr, then walk to A Dock. Metered spots are paid at the pay box or in the ParkChicago app, and rates and hours are set by the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District, so check the sign at your space for the current rate and time limit before you walk away. On busy summer weekends, arrive early — the closest spaces go first, and your 45-minute check-in window starts whether or not you have found parking.
You do not need a trailer or tow vehicle — your WaveRunner is already fueled and in the water at the dock.
