Erickson Park, Bolingbrook Park District

What the heck is up with this park? There's no stairs up to the top 2 slides so it's only for bigger kids since they have to climb up some poles. There's 1 baby swing. There's monkey bars that my 7 year old can't reach but I can as a 5'4 tall adult. Is this playground for adults?!

I was really excited to take my son to a new park, however the lack of parking nearby really is a downfall. If you park across the street there is no crosswalk to safely cross the street. Library seems like the next closest place to park and even that’s a far walk. If there is more parking there should definitely be some signs nearby as I went around the entire block and couldn’t find another place aside from the school (which seemed pretty far too). Aside from that the park seems geared more toward older kids. There isn’t much aside from the slide and swings my two year old could do independently. Lastly the park is by a busy street. There isn’t anything such as a fence or barrier to keep kids out of the street. (And yes people should watch their kids, but this just doesn’t seem safe)

The playground is nice renovated and clean. The equipment was in good condition, however it was really only for older kids 5+ and a few swings. Especially considering it's next to the library and a lot of sports fields, I expected the playground to be bigger, more in line with other local communities library /playground setups. It is also really close to a pretty busy street with no fence or barrier to stop kids that might run off. Overall it's nice, but really small and not a lot of equipment for smaller kids. It'd also be nice if there was a ninja type area for teens, as there were a few camped out on the already limited playground equipment.

A smaller park that doesn't have many features but it is close to the Fountaindale library and Bolingbrook police station. Nice quick stop for you and kiddos to go.

This park used to be a good place for me to take my kids, but that's no longer the case. Lately certain group of teens keep flocking the place & breaking the equipment. The good thing is that the park already replaced the broken red car, which was dangerous for kids to play in, but the bad thing is that broken things & graffiti keep appearing. Ive reported it several times. I used to be able to take my kids but now half the time I go, the swings are all taken by teenagers that are twisting them around the poles and last time there were two teens jumping on the benches. We had to keep walking because my kids wanted to swing & there was no way I could have gotten them to swing with 10 rowdy teens.
