Kensington Park - Playground

Description

A relic of the past, the playground equipment at Kensington Park appears to be some of the oldest equipment still in use in the city of Chicago. Google Streetview from 2007 seems to show the same equipment which means the equipment is at least 15 years old.

Despite the age, the equipment appears in relatively good condition. There are a variety of slides, climbing features and standard swings. There is also a small water feature with a candy cane shower sprayer. The play area is not fully enclosed but it is fenced from the street and tucked on the side of a large open field. The play surface is wood chips and while there aren't benches the low perimeter wall provides some seating. There is a park district building nearby but it seems to be closed and boarded shut.
