A few years ago, the city of Bloomingdale reconstructed Sunnyside Park. The new park is bright, inviting, and accessible to wheelchairs and strollers due to its even ground and ramps.
There are two areas: one for little kids, and another for big kids. Aside from the ramps, there and multiple climbing areas: short structures for little kids (i.e. an alligator on the ground) and (obviously) larger and more complex for big kids (i.e. logs at different heights). Each side has a swing set: baby bucket seats, low regular swings, and two (total) special needs swings. The ground is rubber-type material and minimizes scrapes.
There is one water fountain on site, bench seating, and an outhouse. There are many trees for shade. The nearby tennis courts and basketball courts were resurfaced when the park underwent the renovation.
The park is maintained pretty well, though garbage sometimes overflows from the bins.
In all, it's a great choice as far as local parks go. I'm already enjoying it with my 10 month old son, and expect we'll visit the park for years to come. read more
