    We took our daughter here every other weekend to hang out and play with her friends. This park is very clean and always crowded with lots of kids. Good place for kids and great place for adult to exercise.

    Nice park, lots of variety, as it has a sand box area, playground, swings, and splash pad. The entire playground is mostly shaded, which is nice in the summer.

    Fantastic toddler park. 2 jungle gym, splash pad, sand pit, swings, and bathroom. Park is designed for 6 and under I would say. Both jungle gyms are modern design with a lot of the same features you find at all city parks. Splash pad is the best thing here. Tons of water spraying around for kids to run through. Concrete so wear shoes, but very clean. Be cautious with real little kids as the giant bucket of water drops every 5 min or so and an infant could be knocked over very easily.

    So disappointed that for the summer the water feature is closed to the public till noon and there are no warnings on line to give families a heads up.

    We have utilized the facilities of several fine Chicago Parks with first our children and now grandchildren. Many were fine, but Adams Playground Park under Maureen Billing tops the list. So many great activities in a relatively small space. The grounds are well maintained and the new water park is great.

    Fun little playground. My son loves the sandbox and the toys people leave behind. Have yet to see the water part open. Hoping by the summer.

    This playground is my favorite! There is always on the street parking. There is a big sandlot, a sand play area next to it, a toddler playground, a big kids' playground, toddler and big kid swings, a water play area and public restrooms with a water fountain! There are benches for parents to sit in each area. There is a small basketball court. There are monkey bars, slides and a seesaw. There are many shaded areas. The grounds are always clean. This playground has something for everyone, which means time for parents to play with their children, read, chat and relax!

    This is our favorite playground! There is a water area where the kids can get soaked. There is a large sandbox that has an umbrella providing a shaded area for play. There is a toddler playground section. A playground area for older children. There are swings--infant/toddler and regular. There is a public restroom and water fountain. Finally, there are many benches for the parents to rest and relax. Enjoy!

    This is the best park in Chicago. No joke, my 20 month old spent the longest time keep himself entertained then he has in his entire life. The sand area, the gigantic splash area, and the bomb playset could have been designed by an eight year old child for himself and his younger siblings. Everyone has left toys in the pristine sand so that your little one can make sandcastles or just dig for ages using shovels, spoons, or trucks. If you forget anything at this park, people leave your belongings on the fence so you can easy grab them the next time you pop by. Overall an amazingly safe and clean park, well maintained by both the city and the neighborhood parents. You can feel the community vibe is strong here.

    Fun little jungle gym. My child adores the sandbox and the toys individuals abandon. Presently can't seem to see the water part open. Trusting by the late spring.

  • 5/5 Terry B. 2 years ago on Google
    Sad that the water slide is gone, but this is still great for letting the kids cool off and play. We always end up spending longer here than we plan.

    It was a a great place for toddlers. The other Moms were great as well. Really nice.

  • 5/5 Andy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Adams Park has a great sandbox, large playground structures and swings, and a huge water spray feature in a comfortable and quiet environment; these features combine to make Adams Park a destination. The large sandbox has a sun shade umbrella overhead. There is a smaller play structure for younger children and a much larger, somewhat accessible play structure for older children. There are the standard varieties of swings and a see-saw as standalone elements. And the water spray feature is huge and features many different spray elements. The play area is fully enclosed and has a soft rubberized surface. There are a few benches scattered throughout the area and picnic tables tucked away at the south end of the park. The only downside of this park is that it is quite popular and that sometimes the water spray feature is reserved for groups enrolled in Chicago Park District programming and is therefore not accessible to the general public. Even with these downsides, this is a great destination playground for kids in Chicago.

    Cute park with a water feature. Great for toddlers and small children.

  • 5/5 Tulika L. 5 years ago on Google
    New splash pad is awesome. Great sandbox, slides, swings. Tough parking some days but oh so fun.

  • 5/5 Ellery R. 2 years ago on Google
    If you have a toddler who runs off, this is a good spot for Moms looking for fully fenced parks. Ample entertainment including a splash pad and sandbox. Only one entrance!

  • 5/5 George C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park in a quite not heavily trafficked area (great for kids) - nice water feature as well. It also has great programs for kids - highly recommend the “Young Scientists” program for kids 4-7 years old - weekly fun and educational hands-on activities for kids during the winter

  • 5/5 Peggy S. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a sweet playground for toddlers and preschoolers, particularly. Has sandbox, water feature and play equipment. Layout is well planned. Benches for adults and some lunch tables. One of my faves.

  • 4/5 Tim C. 5 years ago on Google
    Play lot that is great for <8 to burn some energy. Bathrooms aren't the best and the fieldhouse has limited hours during the summer. For younger kids (under 5) there is a ton to do, including a splash pad that is open during the summer. No fields, courts or space designed for bigger kids. The fieldhouse is small but they have a great schedule of activities, mostly geared towards younger kids. Trees provide lots of shade, but can get hot, especially at the sand box. Frequent movies and concerts in the park during the summer are one of the highlights of the year here.

  • 4/5 Raven C. 4 years ago on Google
    I really like the amenities in this playground, lots of cool things for the kids to do. Great alternative to the beach.

  • 4/5 Maya A. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little park in a great neighborhood, only downside is that the field house is not open on Saturday’s so if you go plan ahead!

  • 5/5 Maria M. 5 years ago on Google
    Omg really cool park my son enjoyed it

  • 5/5 Melanie G. 5 years ago on Google
    The water area was recently renovated and it's lovely. It's a great park because the splash pad is a great size and the attached park is great. The park area also has a sand box area and a water table, there's hop scotch and a small basketball area. Not to mention there is as field house in case someone needs to use the washroom.

  • 5/5 Alissa M. 5 years ago on Google
    No more water slide, but there is a sand pit now

  • 4/5 Dhirubhai P. 5 years ago on Google
    Good to visit with kids.

  • 4/5 John C. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow! Can't believe I lived on the Bay for so long, but never made it to Golden Gate Parl until now. So huge, so green, so peaceful. The Academy of Science, Japanese Tea Garden, the trees, the air, the paths to ride your bike on or stroll. The perfect place to go on a sunny day. Bring a cost as the breeze from the ocean can make it feel cold fast.
