Sorry for the late reply. I only just saw this. It seems to be mainly there to protect Montrose Beach which is just to the left in this view. Perhaps the idea is to prevent the beach from washing away. You can get a view of it in relation to the beach at the Chicago Parks website at https://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks-facilities/montrose-beach

That’s a great photograph. Is it a breakwater? It seems low for a breakwater.
