Peterson Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

Set in a quiet corner of Peterson Park, this playground offers some interesting play elements for a range of children. There are two main play structures, a few standalone elements, and the standard set of Chicago Park swings. The larger play structure is designed for older children and features a few different slides and climbing elements (a few elements like the rail slide and the platform bridge and quite challenging and younger children may require supervision). The smaller structure is for younger children and provides climbing elements and interactive panels suitable for younger children. There are two unique rope/net climbing elements as well: one arched climber with ropes and another spinning cylinder. Lastly, there are the standard swings: toddler, adaptive with a harness, and flat seat swings.

The playground is set into the park and away from the nearest roads and opens directly into the rest of Peterson Park. The play area is quite shaded by large trees and the play surface is wood chips. There are benches and picnic tables nearby as well as a drinking fountain and the nearby fieldhouse provides access to bathrooms (when open). All in all, this is a great playground and a few unique play elements and solid amenities to keep everyone comfortable; highly recommend.
