After reading about 31st Street Beach Park -- or the formal name I have never heard: Edwin C. "Bill" Berry Park -- in RedTricycle, I knew we had to visit.
And it did not disappoint.
The park is beautiful and well maintained. The area had a lot of unique features not seen at other parks. And while my kids enjoyed all aspects, my 5 year old focused heavily on repeat missions up the rock climbing wall, while my 3 year old may have worn a path down the long twisty slide. It was fast moving and my son was not alone in his slide love affair - many kids were there and the giggles were contagious.
The view of the lake is fantastic, it is steps from 31st Street Beach, bathrooms (which should be noted are not open year round), LSD bike/walk paths, and several tables for picnics.
Noteworthy:
- Bathrooms open on April 22.
- Public Parking is available. Download the Parkmobile App before you go if you don't want to take your purse/wallet. Was $2 for an hour, so really inexpensive.
Cost Savings:
All you pay for is parking
Location/Transportation:
Bronzeville
Can bike, as it is just off of the Lake Shore path.
We drove and didn't have issues finding parking (but were not there during a busy time)
Kid's Jury: 5 stars
