Burnham Park - 43rd Street Playground
- Description
-
The playground in Burnham Park near the 43rd Street Bridge is still under construction (as of 2023-03) but looks like it will be a wonderful playground. The new playground is just south of the 43rd Street Bridge just off the Lake Front path and the near the comfort station. The playground features a small set of swings, a rope net climbing structure, a small play structure for young children, a collection of elements for older children, and a good variety of musical instruments.
The non-play elements are solid; the play surface is soft rubber, the play area seems like it will be fully enclosed, and there are plenty of benches. This site provides nice views of the city skyline and the nearby comfort station should provide access to bathrooms (when open).
I'll plan on re-visiting this summer (and updating this review) because this looks like a great playground. - Playground Features
