Really cool layout and surprising variety of holes. Overall I was +7, so if you've been playing for a while I bet you could get some nice aces or at least more birdies than me - I got one. Can't wait to come back and play it again...with less snow.

Great disc golf course. Nice variety with gentle hills, mature trees, reasonable water hazards,…read moreand some long, albeit mostly short, holes. Very generous with par. Risk of losing disc is super low. Some pedestrians, but hardly any hindrance. Well manicured, so almost no rough to worry about. Walk between holes is reasonable without holes being on top of each other. Perfect for casual players, but may become boring if you play it multiple times a year or if you're close to expert level.

But Taylor Park is still one of the best parks in Oak Park for getting exercise and observing nature up close. We watched two playful red-wing blackbirds for 20 minutes, and listened to their sweet bird calls from our spot on the marshy bridge. It was really lovely! Muddy and marshy!! But perfectly lovely. Oak Park has many beautiful spaces but Taylor Park is especially beautiful to me. It's larger that most others and has a lovely hill, marshy region, walking path, shade trees and soccer field in addition to tennis courts and a really excellent playground that older kids can enjoy, too. There are even a few trees that are suitable for climbing which is cool to find in a more urban park. I stop by to play Pickle Ball in the tennis courts with my dad. The courts are very well maintained. It's early in the season and a bit chilly still, but we have never had to wait for a court this year. I'm sure things will pick up next month. Easy, plentiful, and free street parking. Fun to visit any season.

Tip: This park is quite dog friendly :-) In the North East corner of the park stands the Pleasant Home mansion, which is a National Historic Landmark designed in 1897 by architect George W. Maher for John W. Carson. Both the park and mansion are a delight to experience, and the docent-led mansion tour is very interesting. A number of parks in the area have playgrounds for small children, but Mills Park doesn't have one. For me, that's a plus because it makes this place just a bit more peaceful and relaxing. I enjoying visiting to read a book or just to relax. In the evening, this is a nice place to stroll after dining out on Marion Street :-)

The concrete is perfectly smooth and the lip of the pools are molded metal that prevents the edge from chipping. And the skaters thrash it all day here. It's an amazing thing to behold. Just make sure you know the lingo and when to ensure your kid wears a helmet! Is he or she yammering about "dropping into a bowl" the first time? For Pete's sake they should wear a helmet! And hand guards! Even Tony Hawk always has his main gear on. He's the best role model out there. I'm not saying your kids should look like they're wearing a space suit. But only the experienced skaters wear less safety gear. Skating still gets a bad rap. It's a great way to blow off steam, socialize, and it's good exercise. You can tell how much energy and focus it takes when you're less than ten feet away. And if your teenager never evinces charisma about anything other than video games and cutting class, you should be ecstatic if they pick up skating. It's really cool being at the Wilson pools and watching the magic.

It has playground equipment such as a slide and swings. Also there's a community garden. The park also has a water feature operating in warmer weather. A surprisingly long history about it. In the years after World War II, there was a baby boom, and this caused an increased need to built lots more of parks and playgrounds. This small playlot was one of these. It got its name from the street it's located on of course. The street is named after John Dean, who was an early civic leader. Good place for kids and families. It's pretty safe around here. This is close to a few other bigger parks that have more things.

Parking was on the street and was somewhat of a challenge, but I manage to secure a spot not to far away from the park. The event was organized by Unity Park Advisory Council (UPAC) and Wrestle League (WL), and I have to say it was pretty well organized. There was a professional looking ring and the various wrestlers looked great. Because it was outside, you had to bring your own chairs. There was a small concession stand selling drinks and popcorn. There were quite a few matches, with villains and heroes, and high flying antics in the ring and outside the ring and over the ropes. It was a lot of fun and The Doctor and I totally got into the act by booing the villains as they strutted their stuff. This was such a good time and I guess they do this every year, so I will keep an eye out for the notification. Next year I will plan appropriately and make sure we get there early so we can camp out under a good shade tree.
