Bessemer Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description: Located on the eastern edge of Bessemer Park, this playground boasts two big play areas, plenty of shade, and a nice water feature. The smaller area is designed for younger children and features a solid play structure and a few standalone elements as well as a variety of swings. The larger area is actually huge and features a large play structure for older children with lots of rope/net features for climbing and traversing. There is also a small water spray feature just to the south of the playground.

The play areas are not enclosed but they are fenced from the street and set back a bit. The area is shaded by large trees and there are a few benches for seating. The play surface in both areas is wood chips. There is a fieldhouse building just to the north providing bathroom access. All in all, this is a great playground.
