Awesome place to take your kids and have fun. But beware: Germs are EVERYWHERE. Everybody grabs the rails/bars/chairs/benches. Not to mention there's always kids either picking their nose or sneezing on their hands and touching everything. Not that big of a deal but if you're a germaphobe you will not enjoy this place. It would help if the park offered hand sanitizers around the playground or even hand washing stations.

Clean. Great place to sit and chill. Lots of places for the kids to play. Probably the best park about downtown Chicago. Yes, you heard it here. Get busy fast.

Beautiful park and playground for kids of all ages - from just walking toddlers to young teens. It’s HUGE and nestled right downtown and right by the lake. There’s parking at the millennium garage and food of all kinds just outside the park when the fam gets famished. Easy walk to Art Institute or down the Mag Mile. Buckingham Fountain nearby and other water features inside the playground make this place an especially great summer escape. There’s also mini golf and a climbing wall for a few. Otherwise, it’s all free! Truly a Chicago treasure for the whole family.

The park is really nice and been going for years but now later in the afternoon there are sooooo many mosquitos now …. Maybe need to do some cleaning or figure out why there is an influx of mosquitos. Also, the slides are very good… none of them really allows sliding and it’s easy to just be stuck or too hot to slide … they should really look into improving it given how big of an area it takes and how many people come visit.

Wonderful park for children, with lots of different play spaces suited for kids of various ages. There were also lots of spots (many of them adequately shaded) for parents to sit and watch their kids too. The park also has a splash pad and mini golf area that we didn't get to try this time around, but it definitely offers another set of fun activities for kids and families to enjoy. The park is across the bridge from Millennium Park, so it also makes it easy for tourists to visit and do multiple things while in that area.

Really love this park. They have a ton of options when it come to slide, swings, water play place and so many more activities for the kids! There is a ton of room and many different sections of the park. There are some for younger kids 2-5 and older kids like 6+. If you are in Chicago, this is a MUST VISIT!!!

Lovely park! My daughter had a blast! Not for very Young toddlers like 2 year olds. It has lots of cool things. I am not from here so I found it a little difficult to find the play ground with in the park! Look for the building I circled in the picture. The play ground is closer to that building just follow the building lol Also they play grounds are separated by sections. That was a bit confusing and dangerous as I can totally see children getting lost.

My favorite park ever! Wish I was taken here as a kid. I wish it was all ages, ha! So many climbing structures, swings, & different places to play here.

Amazing play area for kids. Well themed and each play area marked with recommended age for the kids.

Really nicely structured and designed; This park is super cute and attractive; the kids love it;

Playground has a lot to offer. A lot of different 'rooms' that unique play elements can be found. Apparently so.e play slides are closed because kids are breaking bones. Some steep slopes for kids to climb at the main play area. Tough for my 4 year old.

This play area is so bountiful of entertaining physical indícala for kids of all ages you will find yourself looking for the price of admission! It’s dangerously time consuming because you kids will continually find new areas and nooks and crannies to play in. Tucked away you feel miles away from a packed city. The walk in and out seems to be designed to transport you with every step to an area that seems magically placed in a city of mostly cement and iron. If the sun is out and you have kids this is a definitely place to stop on your journey in Chicago.

HUGE playground the kids can play and have fun, but you have to keep an eye on them when its packed

This is the mother lode of playgrounds! I have been to dozens of Chicago parks over the past few years, and the playground here has something for every young person. There's even a splash pad area. Each area is separate, helpful for keeping kids far apart in age physically apart. Now keeping an eye on your kid(s) is not the easiest in the areas for older kids - particularly the one with the suspension bridge and towers. But the play area is well-contained. For maximum safety, have one adult hang back at the entrance/exit to Play Garden while the other goes in and tries to keep track of your little one(s).

Best park in the city! Perfect for my 7 year old.

Nice , large playground with many things to do the kids ...

A FREE kids park, in the city. We're they can play!! 😊 I saw a sign for ages 12 & under

As a parent of one child within a playground with very few individuals present, it would be very much appreciated to not have “staff” yell during any attempt at fun. Sorry that I like to interact with my kid and play. Btw, we can smell and see you smoking pot Mr. “Staff”

Great immersive playgrounds for all ages

Amazing play ground my kids love playing here all year long including when there is a lot of snow

Today my family visited this playground and were yelled at multiple times about playing with our son on the equipment. We were told we needed to sit with the other parents and just watch our son. Why have a family park if you are not allowed to enjoy it with your children. I am beyond disappointed with the city of Chicago with allowing this mistreatment. I am born and raised in Chicago and want to bring my son to the places I enjoyed as a kid but will no longer be visiting this park.

Clean, well kept, security around keeping us safe. Lived the different areas. Thank you

Excellent park and jungle gym for youngsters, everything being equal, - from simply strolling babies to youthful adolescents. It's HUGE and settled right midtown and right by the lake. There's stopping at the thousand years carport and food of numerous sorts right external the recreation center when the fam gets starving. Simple stroll to Art Institute or down the Mag Mile. Buckingham Fountain close by and other water highlights inside the jungle gym make this spot a particularly incredible summer escape. There's additionally little golf and a climbing divider for a couple. Something else, it's all free! Genuinely a Chicago treasure for the entire family.

A fantastic place to bring your little one(s)! The park had a great mix of things to keep kids busy! Between the various play structure, swings, and other playground staples, there were also unique entries that intrigued both the young and young at heart (mirror forest, I’m looking at you!). Moreover, the park was clean, well maintained, and also had a security presence that was both welcomed and reassuring. It was a nice, shaded place to have a break amidst all the other touristy stuff in that part of town. Glad we could find and explore this little, innocent oasis within the Chicago concrete jungle.

Fantastic playground for kids under 5 feet tall (~10yrs old). Our son played here for a solid 90 minutes without a hint of boredom while the older family members toured a museum that would've left him in tears. Huge slides, bridges, and other equipment. Loved it!
