Grant Park Playground

Grant Park is one of those neighborhoods where you can actually spend a whole day without getting in your car, and the playground fits right into that. It sits inside the park proper, so you’re already close to the zoo and the rec center — easy to tack on before or after. Families with kids of different abilities tend to do well here, since accessibility is genuinely built into the space rather than just an afterthought. It’s a solid neighborhood spot that pulls in both locals and visitors without feeling overrun.
