Officially known as "Park 551", this location is better known as "Fulton River Park" and features a nice, small playground on a terraced site. The playground features two play structures: a smaller one for younger children and a larger one for older children with a variety of slides and accessible by a ramp. There is also a small set of standard swings. The play area is fully enclosed and features a soft rubber surface. There are a few benches and a drinking fountain in the play area that is shaded by trees and neighboring buildings. This park is also near the Bloomer Chocolate Company (making it a great smelling park!) and near several active train lines (making it a great spot for kids that love trains!). All in all, a solid neighborhood park and playground.

Laser show on most evenings... Lots to see make your dinner reservations ahead of time when you're in this area. Take a river boat tour too!

Nice park with a fenced off leash area for dogs, playground for kids and grassy areas for all.

Great place to walk take a bicycle with you or just sit along the riverside and enjoy the view it gets a little harsh in winter with small kids. But it’s very ideal in summertime downtown Chicago

Close to home and dog friendly. One thought: Hey, folks. If you see obvious trash on the ground, would it kill you to pick it up and toss it into the waste receptacle? It might even help a sense of community to grow. Gotta love Chicago.
