We live in walking distance and can't enjoy the park because children dropped off, nobody watches them, some parents sit at tables and don't watch their kids.

I regret missing out on the last few years of lunch time walks here!! I will definitely come by more often. The hiking trail is off the far end of the parking lot. The lake is to the right as you pull into the lot. I saw ducks and bunnies and heard all sorts of other animals along the path in the woods. The path can be a little rugged in some parts, requiring you to step over tree roots, or duck under a fallen tree branch, but is mostly easy to navigate. There were only 3 people at this lot at noon on a Wednesday. Perhaps the crowds pick up on the weekend?

What you don't hear is that the same doesn't really happen in the rest of the City of Chicago. Taxpayer dollars are poured into parks in areas where the taxbase is small. Anyway I digress. So the playground is nice. The pool is disgusting. The baseball diamonds are pathetic. There are signs indicating that the diamonds are reserved for Mt Greenwood Park Baseball. I feel bad for the kids that play there. The fields are so torn up that grounders will inevitably take out someone's eye. I think the fields in third world nations are better than these.

For those that even exercise regularly, this is a tough workout and you really have to build up to it. Nice location, great walking trail in addition to the stairs. Everyone that goes is very friendly. In the summer the smoothie shop is open. Police regularly patrol the area. Super big parking lots. The only issue is that you're really supposed to walk up one side and down the other - but often people are walking up and down the main flight of stairs which is annoying. Aside from that, it's a great experience.
