The playground was renovated in 2015 and features two play structures - a smaller one for younger children and a larger one for older children - as well as a set of standard Chicago Park swings. The water spray feature is a 'loch ness mister' and an overhead spray element. All the equipment is very nice and well-maintained. The setting and non-play elements are very solid. There are large, mature trees surrounding the site and a few benches and picnic tables for seating. The nearby fieldhouse provides access to bathrooms (when open). The play area is fenced from the street but not enclosed and opens directly into the rest of the spacious park. All in all, this is a great park and playground; highly recommend."

It also has a big open field to have a picnic or play with your dog. However it does have a big shed place that is supposedly public with the hours being stated in the front of the doors but when I tried going in to sit on the bleachers on the 2nd story a woman who works at the park told me that I couldn't go up there and didn't give me a reason and just made me leave. Other than that the park is a perfect spot to hangout and play."
