Goudy Square Park - Playground Park
- Description
-
The playground at Goudy Square Park reflects it's location in Chicago's Gold Coast: luxurious. The current playground equipment was installed in 2014 and was made by the company KOMPAN; it has distinctive bold geometric patterns and large elements meant for traversing and climbing. There is a large and sprawling play structure intended for older children including a few slides, a large twisted climbing net, some monkey bars, and other elements. There is also an area dedicated to younger children with a smaller play structure and a play car. Lastly, there is the standard set of swings and a few sculpted animals scattered through the play area.
The other features of this park include, according to the Park District website, "ornamental metal fencing, period light fixtures, brick paths, and a limestone and bronze drinking fountain with a turtle, frog and fish produced by Walter Arnold" - luxurious indeed. The play surface is mostly soft rubber with some low walls and plantings around the perimeter. The play area is fully enclosed and somewhat shaded by large trees and there are lots of benches throughout the playground. - Playground Features
