I have always enjoyed going to this park. This is the tail end (or front end) of the Bloomingdale Trail. It has a play area for kids (slides, swings, jungle gym), water sprinklers (turned on in late spring/early summer), dog park, picnic area (grass and a few tables and seats). There are also benches around the kids side of the park. There is also a parallel bar near the Ashland entrance/exit. Would have given it a 5-star rating if there was a restroom.

The playground at Walsh Park is a great playground that has two wonderful and unique structures. There is a huge play structure consisting of two towers that are connected by a fully enclosed rope net bridge. The climbing elements are all inside the towers and each tower has a large curving tube slide so while there is no chance of a high fall from the tall structures, it still takes courage to climb and cross them (for child and for parent!). The second structure is harder to describe but resembles a dome with rope netting on the exterior with a variety of climbing elements inside. This is slightly smaller but still a challenging elements for kids who like to climb. Finally, there are some swings (toddler, adaptive, and hammock-style saucer swings), a small curving climbing wall, and a unique pipe drum musical element. There is also a water spray feature in this playground! Small jets of water spout from the ground for a duration of time after a button is pressed. This water feature is quite integrated into the play area (i.e. hard to keep kids away) so probably good to plan accordingly. This playground is located at the eastern end of the 606 trail and despite it's central location actually seems quite removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. That being said, it's also a very popular playground that is used by school and camps groups so it can get crowded. The play area is not fully enclosed but it is fenced from the street. There are large, flat rocks set around the area as benches as well as two picnic tables for seating. The play area itself is bright and open though there are trees dotting the area for some shade and the play surface is wood chips. All in all, this is a great playground - especially for somewhat older children - and definitely a worthwhile destination.

It was are 1st time at the park and was really nice. They had bike paths too! We'll come back again and me and my son bringing are bikes.

I really like Walsh Park’s dog park! It’s clean and has fresh running water from a hose. My critique would be that they should put up some sun shade sails across the pavement area so the dogs (and humans) have some shade for the summer. But it’s a fun park!!

The park is fairly new and has plenty of space. It has space for everyone including a dog park. I often run back and forth on the 606 and this is one of the ends. From here to the other end is 2.7 miles. The park is clean and offers water fountain bike air pump as well as benches to seat. Will definitely come back to it over and over.

The playground and grassy areas were renovated and reopened in fall 2019; they are great. Plenty of space. Lots of open grass and trees. Lovely equipment for kids to play on. Right near the eastern terminus of the 606 trail. The dog park is typical of the area. No turf, just blacktop and access to water and a hose. There usually is a kiddy pool in the big dog area to fill with water for water dogs. There is a separate area for dogs under 25 pounds.

As beautiful as the Chicago Parks are, it's a shame that the city is not doing anything to help the homeless who are living in the parks. I took my daughter to Walsh park today and a homeless man was sleeping in the playground where the kids go up and down the slide. It's one thing for the homeless to pitch a tent on the outskirts of the playground, but it's a whole new terrifying thing to have them camp right in the playground. Not safe. Don't send your kids here.

Walsh Park is one of those outdoor spaces that has something for kids of all ages- it’s so good to have a well designed and maintained park at the head of the 606 trail. There is a fenced off dog park next to the elaborate playground that has climbing and repelling opportunity for the young adventurers; swings, and a stunning and dynamic slide and ladder structure - tree house hybrid that’s just the most fun experience for kids to have out here. Highly recommend this place

This little park is so fun... big towers big slides big jungle gym and it's right next to a beautiful jogging trail right in the middle of the city... w lots of conifers so it smells amazing

Beautiful Park located right off Ashland Avenue & the highway, with many wonderful structures to play on!

This is the BEST play park we've ever been to! Top tip though... There's a splash pad shop bring dry clothes for the kiddos!!! 🤣

Loved the park only thing missing is a restroom

I love this park, it's perfect for kids enjoying the playground, adults who wanna enjoy a jog or a run on the 606 Bloomingdale Trail Park, or even pet owners who want to take their dogs on a walk. It's a decent space to accommodate social distancing and keeping everyone safe.

Great location to relax, work out, or even bring your dog to the dog park

visiting from out of town, park was easy to locate and street parking available on 2 sides of park. adjacent to dog park but plenty of space between them and the play structures. area was clean and swings, slides and climbing features appear to be maintained. park also has a splash pad so don't forget your towels!

Right at the beginning (or end) of the 606 trail, this park is a really great gem! I don't live in the neighborhood, but was able to find easy parking. The playground features are new and really unique. A figure 8-ish sidewalk makes for a good running trail, with plenty of grass space to lounge and picnic on.

Great park for a wide variety of people. There is a lot of grassy area to lay out and enjoy the sun, as well as a playground, a dog park, and fitness equipment. It also sits at the eastern trailhead of the 606 trail, so that's an added touch that makes this one of my favorite parks in the area.

Something for everyone here- young, old, and in-between. I can't wait for the 606 to be extended over the river!

The best. Trailhead to 606 run/bike path. Nice open lawn, dog park, super exciting playground for the kids.

Love the dog park isn't as crowded as others and it looks like the little kids live the playground. Best thing about it is the 606 starts here. Small park for such a busy place. Not super clean but great location

Great, relatively new, playground with a huge play structure, lots of swings, a small water feature, and a climbing structure. One of the best parks in Chicago.

Beautiful park with splash pad. It was too hot on the day we went and splash pad kept kids cool.

The kids favorite park. Since it was redone a few years ago, the kids could not be happier. There is a playground close and the kids are willing to walk further for this park. They can climb, slide and swing until their hearts are complete.
