I don't know legally who controls it, but it's called Gateway Park.

In "front" of Lake Point Tower to the East is Gateway Park, as already indicated. It's part of the Navy Pier complex.

Navy Pier Chicago: Historic Navy Pier is Chicago's lakefront playground!

In "front" of Lake Point Tower to the North (across from the entry to LPT) is Jane Adams Memorial Park.
