Mount Greenwood Park - Playground
- Description
-
The playground in Mount Greenwood Park is a massive and sprawling site with a huge variety of play elements and areas. There is a water spray feature with water jets from the ground and a single pole water sprayer right inside the entrance. There is an area for younger children with a few low slides that is accessible via a ramp. Nearby, the soft rubber surface is mounded into a series of humps and dips with a few slides and a net climbing feature. This elevated area leads directly (via a barrier free ramp) into the larger play structure for older children. Connected to this play structure is a huge variety of overhead elements (i.e. variations on monkey bars) and climbing/traversing elements. There are also two sets of swings with the usual Chicago Park varieties. Again - this is a massive and sprawling site.
The amenities are also really solid. There is ample seating with both benches and picnic tables. The play area is set off the street and is fully enclosed from the street with just one entrance and exit. The play surface is soft rubber and very accessible; a child in a stroller or someone uses a wheelchair could access most parts of the playground. There are some trees around the perimeter of the play area but most of the playground is bright and sunny. Lastly, there is an impressive amount of art in this playground! Both in the form of tile mosaics and intriguing, interactive music elements (way more interesting than the typical bongo drum play element!).
I highly recommend this great playground! - Playground Features
