Edwin C. Berry Playground

Description

This modern playground on the lakefront features an enclosed play area with dedicated spaces for younger and older children. In addition to standard swings and slides, this playground boasts some interesting elements including a twisting rock climbing wall, a large curved slide set into the landscape, and a roller slide. Even though this playground is just steps from the 31st Street Beach, there are two water elements with gentle sprays designed for younger children. There are plenty of benches within the enclosed play space and an interesting and accessible area further south with more benches, picnic tables, and benches. One of the best playgrounds in Chicago.
