A fully enclosed, accessible playground on the Far Southwest Side with one of the more impressive splash pads in the city's park system. The fencing makes it easy to supervise multiple kids at once.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside, parking at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in Chicago average 83°F — warm enough for a splash pad through most of the season without being punishing at midday.
