CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago’s Navy Pier is to receive a $20 million donation, one that officials say is the largest private gift in the attraction’s history.

Navy Pier officials announced the donation on Thursday. It comes from the Polk family, which owned retail stores in the Chicago-area for decades. Navy Pier’s Gateway Park will be named Polk Bros Park.
