Seeing What Isn't There

Obviously, this site is born from an obsession with Chicago Parks and playgrounds and a desire to catalog and describe them. Because of this, I sometimes feel like I'm able to get special insights into parks.

There are a number of "twin playgrounds" and sometimes similar playgrounds can let you see something that's not there. For example, there is a missing "Spring Step" in Marquette Park.

A twin playground!

There is also a missing "Hanging Balance Beam" in Smith Park.
