Kujawa (Chester Frank) Park Playground
- Alternative Name
- Catalpa Park Playground (former)
- Description
-
The playground in Kujawa Park was renovated in 2015 and features a large play structure, small water spray feature, and plenty of benches. The play structure is large structure with the standard slides and monkey bars as well as some climbing/traversing elements. There is a small set of swings (toddler, adaptive with harness, and belt seat) and a standalone climbing structure. There is also a unique wooden fence built The water spray feature is a small 'four sprayer.'
The park itself has great tree coverage (especially on the south end) with plenty of benches. A small plaque notes this is a "community reading garden" and that seems an appropriate description for that space. The play area is fenced from the street but not fully enclosed and the main play surface is wood chips.
From 1971 until 2021, this site was known as Catalpa Park. The City renamed the park to honor Chester Frank Kujawa who was a WW2 veteran who resided in the Archer Heights area before his death in 2016. - Playground Features
