I quote from Wikipedia...
"It was Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley's ambitious idea to realize that which was originally designed as part of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago, a plan for the future of Chicago created in 1909."
Also, I think different parts of the park were designed by different people. For instance, the same Wiki article says...
"AT&T Plaza is home to Cloud Gate, a 3-story, 110-ton steel sculpture that has been dubbed by residents as "The Bean". The sculpture is the work of world-renowned artist Anish Kapoor and is the first of his public art in the United States. The piece was privately funded and the total cost was $23 million -- up from the original estimate of $6 million."
Then...
"Crown Fountain, designed by Catalan conceptual artist Jaume Plensa, is the first of its kind in the world."
And...
"Lurie Garden, designed by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol brings a new, public botanical garden to downtown Chicago."
I guess you are getting the picture. :-)

There was this guy name Daniel Burnham who had this plan in the 1909 that allowed the area for the land to becom a park.
In 1997 Mayor Richard M. Daley became more ambitious and wanted new things added. Help from Frank Gehry also came into play and the outcome is what we know the park to be.
