Riis Park - North Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

This playground - one of two in Riis Park - is an interesting playground with some unique play elements in a classic and timeless setting. There are two play structures - one for younger children and one for older - that both feature modern equipment that is somewhat unique to Chicago Park playgrounds.

The setting is classic playground that is, at the same time, somewhat rare in Chicago: this playground is set away from the nearest street (Wrightwood between Mobile and Merrimac, in case you need directions) and opens directly into the large grassy expanses of Riis Park. It is bright and sunny with a play surface of wood chips. There is a drinking fountain nearby and the nearby fieldhouse provides access to bathrooms. A low perimeter wall provides some informal seating but - strangely - there aren't any benches near the playground.

All in all, this is a great little playground; highly recommend.
