This park was so handy to get to, being across the street from a train station! The park has a pool, playground with a small (and very popular) water feature, and a lot of unique playground features.
Noteworthy:
- The main slide structure has all kinds of unique features, from rock climbing throughout, little plastic hammocks, to angled monkey bars.
- Climbing is abundant: the huge rope dome and neighboring rope "course" has bridges, ladders (you guessed it, made of rope), and different layers to climb throughout.
- 1 out of my 2 kids loved the bucket spinner. The other lost his mind because it was going really fast and when his mom wasn't there to stop it, he (understandably) freaked out.
- Bathrooms in the fieldhouse.

Free! Especially when a random person holds open the CTA gate to have you walk through. Who am I to say no?
First time on Pink AND Green Lines! |
Location/Transportation:
West Loop
Incredibly easy access off the Ashland Train Stop via Green or Pink Line - literally across the street.
Kid's Jury: 4.5 stars
The park is great and has a lot of options: playground, swings, green space, tennis, pool, and water feature. My 3 year old didn't have as much to play on, as it was geared to older ages - my 5 year had a great time.
L-R: Open field; bucket spinner (with the one who liked it); pool |
