Description: This small playground near the northwest corner of Jackson Park is named Chrysalis Playground according to Park District signage and has a small nature theme. There are decorative trees, a unique egg-shaped chair, and an "animal facts" spinning panel. There is also standard equipment like slides and climbing steps that seem designed for younger children. The play area is fully enclosed and somewhat shaded by large trees. The play surface is wood chips and while there aren't benches, the low perimeter wall provides some seating.
