Best Playgrounds with Low Monkey Bars
This site is dedicated to providing detailed information about Chicago Park playgrounds. It accomplishes this by indexing by location, equipment, and features/amenities. However, it does not meet all the information needs of potential playground-goers. Someone recently asked me for playgrounds with low monkey bars. This site catalogs 54 different "overhead playground equipment types" and lists 100 playgrounds having the standard "monkey bars" - but does not catalog the height of the monkey bars.
So - let's work toward a solution! Here are a few playgrounds that have low monkey bars.
Horner Park - Playground
Hard to see... but there are low monkey bars here!
Harrison Park - Playground
It's a huge playground - I believe there are low monkey bars here!
Adams (George & Adele) Park - Playground
Other monkey bars are even lower...but this is a great playground for young kids!
Hamlin Park - Playground
Lots of great elements here. Pretty busy on nice days. Fellger Park is nearby and would make a great "playground tour"
Elizabeth Benton Playground
It's a WONDERFUL playground tucked away in a beautiful park. Getting there is tricky but once there it is amazing.
Pottawattomie Park - Playground
Playground is standard - but holds a special place in my heart.
Senn Park - Playground
Great playground in everyway - lots of different elements.
Wildwood Park - Playground
Great playground tucked away in a residential area. I believe this is a shared campus with a school - so best for evenings, weekends, and summers!
Athletic Field Park - Playground
Very nice little playground.
Bixler Park - Playground Park
Great playground in Hyde Park.
Buttercup Park - Playground
All around good option.
Jacob Park - Playground Park
Great playground - with great coffee nearby and great CTA train watching too!
Ping Tom Memorial Park - Playground
Probably more of a medium-low monkey bar...but it's a top 10 park so I'm including it here.
McInerney Park - Playground
Wonderful little park.
Maplewood Park - Playground
Another "medium low" monkey bar setup - but a great playground!
Kolmar Park - Playground
Nice playground in a quiet neighborhood!
Carmen Park - Playground Park
Nice little neighborhood playground.
