Spencer took Brian and Mommy to Western Springs for today's park outing. We went to Northeast Park which is located at 39th Street and Linden Ave but it's very visible if you are driving down Odgen Avenue. Since Odgen is the route that we took on our numerous trips back and forth between our old house and our new house, this park has been on our to do list for quite awhile.
It's not a bad park but in all honesty - we thought it looked like more fun from the street than it did up close. There is a fence separating the park from the busy street so that isn't a problem. There is a soccer field on one side of the park and a fenced in tennis court with some basketball hoops on the other side. These were very nice amenities that we haven't seen at other parks we have been to. The biggest problem we had with this park is that the equipment was all made from treated wood. It looked nice but it doesn't have as much give when you bump your knee going up the steps and it's not quite as smooth to the touch when you brush your arm against it when your running past it to go down the slide again.
Don't get us wrong, we had a nice time at this park but it's definitely not in our top 10 list.
