Lynwood,IL Playground

Honestly, this little park punches above its weight for a quiet neighborhood spot. The monkey bars are legit good — the kind kids actually want to stay on for more than five minutes, which says something. Come winter, that sledding hill gets a solid workout from the 6-to-12 crowd in the area. They do movies in the park here too, which brings people out and gives it more of a community feel than your average neighborhood green space.
