Kolmar Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

Although Kolmar Park sits on Kolmar Avenue, the park is no longer named after the street. In 2022, residents worked to name the park in honor of Gertrud Kolmar - a German-Jewish author who died in the Holocaust.

The park itself is tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood and features a ball field and a small playground. The playground itself is standard in many ways - there are two play structures and two sets of swings. The larger structure is actually two 'towers' connected by a rope net climbing feature with an overhead slider. The smaller structure contains a low to the ground set of monkey bars as well as a few slides.

The non-play features are also standard: the main play surface is wood chips and there are a few benches around the play area as well a few picnic tables tucked under some nearby trees. The play area is fully enclosed and is shaded by some large trees. All in all, this is a nice little neighborhood playground.
