My daughter and I have nicknames for all of the parks we frequent, I call Hurley Park "Squirelly, she calls it Curley", we call Beverly Park, "The baseball park", (her cousin plays there), Kennedy is Grandma's Park,(it's near Grandma's house), Munroe is "The dog park", Crescent is "the log cabin park",(I hope it retains some of the charm after the remodel!), and Mt. Greenwood Park located at 3721 W 111th St Chicago, IL 60655(312) 747-6564 is the "Bing bong park". It perfectly describes this massive park,(with field house, baseball/softball diamonds, swimming pool, ice rink? and running/bike paths), but the new feature of the park is the playground with so much going on it spins your head!! Musical toys standing 10 feet tall, metal xylophones, several man made hills, bouncy rides, climbing "thing-a-ma-jigs", a water feature they can splash in on hot days(bring a change of clothes or suit!),and of course all the typical swings & slides, pulleys and bars etc...They could not cram one more thing into the space and kids go absolutely bonkers when they are there! Let your child out and into the enclosed area with foamy cushion floor, sit back relax and let them wear themselves out! You will NEVER hear, "Mommy, I'm bored" at this Mega Park!

This is an amazing park. Across the street in the new mixed-use development they are advertising a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop and an Au Bon Pain as "coming soon". Let's hope it's true. The area can use less dated retail. Park is absolutely top notch.
