Today was a low key day at Casa de Cisco. We met up with one of Grace's friends from school at Sunny Hill Park in Streamwood. This park is located on Rt. 19 west of Rt 59 between Streamwood and Elgin.
I don't even know where to begin with how awesome this park is. The Streamwood Park District got this park 100% right. There is literally something for everyone here. The first thing you notice when you pass by the park is the AWESOME skate park located at the front of the park. Really cool ramps and jumps for skaters of all skill levels. The park district was even offering skate board lessons for a while not sure if they still are.
There is not only one playground at this park there are two. One at the top of the hill with plenty of swings for big and little kids as well as two different size jungle gyms for monkeys of all sizes. Molly was very adventurous today and went done the biggest slide there, first with big brother Ben then on her tummy all by herself.
The playground at the bottom of the hill is a bit smaller but still plenty of things for the the kids to play on.
Besides the playgrounds and skate park there are tennis courts and a Frisbee golf course. In the summer time there is a Splash Pad or as I call it the sprinkler park. The park operates almost all day, every day, June through September. The only issues I have with the sprinkler park is there is no shade within the gates and sometimes the pumps get over worked and the water turns off for 30 mins or so. Any time that has happened, I have called the park district and they have come over and fixed it. I just love the sprinkler park for kids of all ages. It is super easy to keep an eye on all my little monkeys and no matter how big or small they all like to splash in the water.
In addition to all the fun things to do this is one of two parks in Streamwood that has bathrooms and a shelter. For me a bathroom at a park is HUGE. With three kids someone always has to go to the bathroom. When we go to this park the fun doesn't stop cause someone has to use the bathroom.
