Huge park, great variety. Lots for all age groups: small stuff for young babies, medium for toddlers, and lots of intense climbing stuff for older kids. So many swings. Great padded ground. Huge volleyball court if your kids like to play in sand. Only con: can be difficult to find parking.
This park is so luscious...green and vibrant! The trail enhances the topography of the land it sits on. It's nice to take in the rushing water off the North Shore Channel. It's very well laid out. Just gorgeous.
This was the first time me and my gf visited this park. We were amazed by how nice it was and the walks down to the little river was perfect. All this time we never knew what we were missing. Now this will be one of our favorite go to spots for a nice calming walk. I highly recommend it to everyone
River Park is a big recreational area with playground, park building, paths by the river, outdoor pool, and water play area. Looks like there's a dog run in one area too l. Most weekends there are lots of picnics and birthday parties going on. Sometimes it's hard to find parking but you can usually find a spot within a block, just check for permit signs. Some of the facilities are a bit old, like the rusty lockers in the pool house. Staff are helpful and keep an eye on everything.
Very clean park. Good for joggers, walking, and other outside activities. Fishing could be better but they just redeveloped the riverside.
This park is huge, even for a Chicago park. A long running trail follows the river, with lots of little trails that dip down closer to the water, and a rock stairway to a little fishing hole. No word on any catches. Huge public pool that right now opens to 75 people max per hour. If you don't want to wait in line, show up at :15 past the hour. Huge playground, many swings, multiple volleyball nets, a 5 court tennis court, a gymnasium in the park house, giant shady trees all over the park. Wildflowers grow up and down the river. There's even a shotput and discus training ring by the trail, but I haven't seen it opened up for use. The park is so big there's probably a lot I don't know about.
I've been Fishing it all my life, well since 4 with My Grandfather. Now I bring my kids here. Its been reconstructed in 2018 to invite all to the water. Not just the angler motivated. I wish there were more trees, But in due time. Open, Peaceful and Beautiful right in the city. I don't even have to launch my kayak under bridges now. They have launches, Docks, Check it out. I’m and my local videos Youtube/ GeoFishing
Along the Chicago River and the fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The restoration along the East bank by the Army Corps of Engineers laid down new river trails and resting spots to view wildlife habitats of the Great Blue Herons in the river, Black-Crowned Heron in the trees, Double-Crested Cormorants and more. The new walking and biking trails connect to Ronan Park and Legion Park. There are hundreds of trees too in almost 29 acres, like the very interesting Scots Pine. They have all the amenities you’d expect, like 7 tennis courts, 2 baseball fields, playgrounds, a field house but also includes a canoe launch, swimming pool, an interactive water playground, artificial turf soccer field, running track, a soft-surface playground, and a community garden. This is a park that has it all!
