The Obama Presidential Center is a museum, library, and green space complex being built in Chicago’s Jackson Park, set to open in June 2026. The center will include a full-size basketball court, a public library, a vegetable garden, a rooftop playground, and a sledding hill. At an estimated cost of $850 million, it is the most expensive presidential library built.
