Blackwelder Park - Playground
- Description
- Blackwelder Park features a solid playground and water spray feature. The playground features two structures - a smaller one for younger children and a larger one for older children - as well as a set of swings featuring the Chicago Park standards: toddler, adaptive, and belt seat. The larger structure is accessible via a ramp and features a few climbing and overhead elements as well. The water spray feature is a standard and effective "triple shower sprayer." The non-playable amenities are also solid. There are benches and two picnic tables for seating as well as a drinking fountain. The play surface is soft rubber and the play area is fenced from the street (and nearby train tracks) but is not fully enclosed. Large trees border the space and provide some shade and sense of enclosure. All in all, this is a wonderful playground; highly recommend.
