The location is a bit unassuming and can be easily missed. However, I'm glad we found this spot and gave it a try. There are multiple pro factors that will have us as recurring visitors. 1) The tennis courts are separate from the pickleball courts. Both are well maintained. This is a huge plus for our firstborn who has recently begun taking tennis lessons from her daddy. 2) Next to the tennis and pickleball courts is a fenced-in fitness court with plenty of equipment for full body workouts with an emphasis on utilizing body weight. Gaga ball, tetherball, a mini race track and fitness walk are all located adjacent to the fitness court. There is also a very creative sensory path that guides people to hop, skip, walk, or slide through the patterns. Our girls had a ton of fun with that path. 3) The playground is vast with plenty of equipment. There is a small section for toddlers and a bigger section for older kids. Our girls especially enjoyed the tall slides, rock climbing wall, and spiralized ladder. My firstborn is usually a big fan of monkey bars but these ones are slightly different from the standard and has a bit of a curve so she didn't enjoy them as much. 4) The location is just minutes away from La Grange downtown which has several family friendly lunch spots that we frequent. We can easily spend a morning at the park and then venture over to downtown for a simple lunch and stroll.

It's got a baseball diamond, a bit of playground stuff, but the best part is the sled hill! That hill is awesome. You can find a hundred people there on any given snow day with all sorts of sleds. It's a blast just watching so many people at the bottom wipe out or knock other people over. Come on, if you are standing at the bottom of a ginormous sled hill and there's sledders along the entire top of the hill, you are likely going to get hit. Survival of the fittest, people. We take walks here with our dog a lot and he loves running around the wide open space when we are the only ones. It's a nice location, and definitely the place to go when you want an awesome sledding experience!

I originally stumbled upon Veterans Park while on one of my daily morning walks. Being a park lover…read moreI had to take a moment to sit in Veterans Park and enjoy the scenery. My first impression of Veterans Park: Veterans Park is one of those underrated and low foot traffic parks that only a select few know about which is great if you want solitude. Amenities: Both the picnic sitting area and the playground equipment is up-to-date with little to no graffiti (which is a big plus if you are in a major city). If you are a chess/checkers lover there is an area in the park that you can practice your craft. Location: Veterans Park is right across the street from a mini dog park which brings the entertainment factor up a couple notches. The unfortunate part of Veterans Park is that it is in the middle of a random neighborhood which does nothing to increase the foot traffic. Unless you are searching for a local park you may never know Veterans Park is around you. I love the park nonetheless and it's slowly becoming one of my favorite miniature parks to visit.

It's huge, multiple levels. There are at least three slides coming out from it. Lots of places for kids to climb and scurry and jump. But that part was too big for my kiddo so we went to the smaller section a few steps away. There was a structure to climb, several slides, some bars, and then even a little further away a bunch of swings. I tried to keep her from seeing the swings, to be honest, since I didn't want to have to deal with an upset kiddo when we had to leave without enough swing time. She played around a bit but didn't seem as interested in the playground. We went down a slide or two, but some of them had standing water since it has been a bit rainy recently. The playground isn't technically fenced in, but it is effectively so because it's behind the practice courts which are all fenced in. It'd be hard for your kid to get away from you. There's a parking lot for the Norridge Park District building but the neighborhood parking could be tricky, especially in the summer because there is restricted parking from Memorial Day to Labor Day (ostensibly because of the large pool structure that would keep the residents from having any parking for three months otherwise). The terrain of the park is wood chips and soil, decidedly not my favorite (maybe especially after a rain) and she got dirty pretty quick. I may bring her back when she's old enough to play on the rocket ship, but this won't be a park that we return to much if ever.
