Cummings Park Playlot Designs

Last Tuesday, I hosted a public meeting with the Chicago Park District and the Francis Parker Neighbors concerning improvements to Cummings Playground located on Lincoln Park West between Dickens Street and Webster Place. 

This is the latest playground funding we've secured under the Chicago Park District's "Chicago Plays!" program. In both plans, the existing sculptures will remain in place and wood chips and sand will be replaced.

Please tell us which design you prefer by emailing  [email protected]  by  Thursday, September 8th .

This European design provides a play piece for  2-5 year olds (lower left-hand corner), a rope bridge for 5-12 year olds, plus a climbing structure for all ages, slides, monkey bars, and a parallel bar slide for older children

Included are six total swings; two belt swings, two baby swings, one group swing and one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) swing. The sandbox will include new sand tables.
