It's a nice place in a quiet neighborhood, great for walking around and relaxing with friends. Views are great experience with some parking spots avaliable if you're lucky. Playground doesn't allow dogs.

I did an in-home family session near Oz Park in June and it was the perfect location to go explore outside as a little break. Love the garden area so much!!

What an awesome park! I walked up here from downtown (on a scavenger hunt - a friend set me on an adventure to see a bunch of things). It was raining a little when I got there, and evening, so the park was near empty. I loved the Oz theme!!

Oz Park is a gem tucked into the neighborhood, and it has such a fun, whimsical energy the second you walk in. I loved spotting the Wizard of Oz character statues — especially the Tin Man Statue, which makes for an awesome photo op. The playground is big, clean, and clearly a hit with families. There are lots of little picnic areas and shady corners, perfect for slowing down with a snack or a book. Overall, it’s a cheerful spot that feels like a mini escape with a dash of storybook magic.

Oz Park is a little slice of the Land of Oz right smack dab in the middle of Chicago. Also: there are tennis courts, a playground, and a baseball diamond.
