Playground Area 2

Honestly, for little kids in Crest Hill, this spot does the job well. The climbing structure keeps the 2-to-8 crowd busy, and there’s enough open space that you’re not constantly dodging other families. Parents with toddlers especially seem to love it — there’s a dedicated area sized right for the smaller ones, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a two-year-old who wants to do everything the big kids are doing. It’s consistently clean, which, if you’ve been to enough local playgrounds, you know isn’t something to take for granted.
