Indian Road Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

The playground at Indian Road Park features the standard set of swings, two play structures, and a water feature. The swings (toddler, adaptive, and belt seat) are the standards found in many parks. The smaller of the two structures seems designed for younger children and features a two tubes and two different slides. The larger play structure is designed for older children and features a few different slides and climbing elements. Children can also access the highest platform via a ramp built into the landscaping and a long ramp that runs through the entire making it accessible to a wider range of children and interesting to all. There is also a suspended metal ring climber and low, standalone plank bridge near the larger structure. The water spray feature is a 'triple shower sprayer' that is located some distance away from the playground while still in the general area.

The amenities of this site are quite nice. The play area is not fully enclosed but it is fenced from the street. The play surface is soft rubber and the whole area gets good shade in the afternoon. There are a few benches, a large grassy area, and access to bathrooms via the fieldhouse (when open). All in all, this is a very solid neighborhood playground and a good destination on the northwest side.
