Sheil Park

This gated playground, nearly hidden from view in the Southport Corridor, feels friendly and secure. While it has nice climbing rings, ladders and slides for older tots, parents of babies will feel most comfy at one of the shaded tables near the entrance. Say "hi" to the others that stroll up and expand your circle of new-mom friends.

3505 N. Southport Ave. (312-742-7826 or online at www.chicagoparkdistrict.com)
