Where is a good place in Chicago to practice flat land tricks?

Hey,
I just moved here from San Francisco and I am looking a place out here where I can get my fix. I'm looking for a place were I can practice flat land tricks on my fixed gear. Somewhere like the island on the Embarcadero. Thanks

I do this on the Lakefront path - just east of Buckingham fountain.
It's a nice setup - there are trash bins, etc. you can use as pylons, etc.

and I always through my messenger bag down in the middle of the area and do "figure-eight's"
around it...it's fun and a nice setting.

I'm sure there are many others...where do you live/work, anyway ?

Thanks!
I'm living near Damen and Augusta and I'm working at a design firm downtown. I've been practicing in the parking lot of the 7-11 up the street and under the blue line on Damen.
