Lawler Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

The playground at Lawler Park features a large net climbing structure, a moderate size play structure, swings, two water spray features, and lots of benches. The large standalone net climbing feature looks like a "web in a sphere" and has a few climbing panels and a large pole attached to the main structure. The other play structure is more traditional and features a lot of slides. There are the standard park district swings and a few standalone elements. The water spray features include a 'triple shower sprayer' and a 'loch ness mister' (my name for the small set of arches and tubes that mist water made to look like a water creature.)

The play area is fenced and set back from the street but is not fully enclosed. The main play surface is soft rubber and there are lots of benches surrounding the play structures. The nearby fieldhouse provides bathroom access (when the building is open) and there is a drinking fountain nearby. There are some trees near the playground but overall this is a bright and sunny playground. All in all, this is a great playground; highly recommend.
