Lincoln Park - Hersh Playground

Description

Bill Hersh Playground is a huge, sprawling, and accessible playground with lots of amenities. This playground - located in Lincoln Park and near the Margate Park fieldhouse - features a huge play area with two large play structures, two sets of swings, and a few standalone elements. Both play structures are accessible via ramps and have lot of connected platforms and bridges.

Inside the fully enclosed play area are benches, picnic tables, and a drinking fountain. The surface is soft rubber. There is access to the bathroom via the Margate Park fieldhouse (when open) and access to the Lake via a pedestrian underpass under DLSD. There are two downsides to this park: it's quite close to DuSable Lake Shore Drive so there is a lot of road noise and there isn't much shade so it's bright and sunny on sunny days.

Even with these downsides, this playground is a great place to gather and play. Highly recommend.
