Western Springs Central Park

Nice, open field with a small covered picnic area. For the most part, all the dogs are friendly and I rarely see dog poo left behind. My only complaint is that the bridge part of the playground is weirdly steep. My kid won't go over it and most kids I see using it have to sit down and slide down the bridge before scaling back up the other side.

A great place to visit with family, friends, or just by yourself. A nice open field to take the dog and play some fetch, or have a nice picnic with family. Go for a morning run around the field and wave at neibors as you pass by. Although it doesnt look like much, its just enough to be enjoyable.

My least favorite park in the area, not enough trees, not enough parking, grass always seems dried out. Its fine for some rec sports, but overall disappointing. It has a water park, but haven't spent any time there as there are better parks in the area with similar amenities.

Grass is not well cared for. There is a lot of dog poop in the grass too, be careful. Playground is okay but the city seems to neglect care for this park.

It was a great experience. I bring my dog here pretty often on walks
