Post #7
Two weeks ago it was raining, but we tried to head over to the east side of Humboldt nonetheless. Máximo ended up feeling kind of crummy, so we ended up making it a reconnaissance mission and determined that we would return (which we did last weekend).
above was taken on recon day.
This park is pretty rad, lots of rope equipment.

Boys' assessment:
George Carlos - ★★★★★,"I liked the big slide and playing on the big mountain."
Máximo - ★★★★★, "There were a lot of ropes to climb on and I really liked the hill."
The hill: as above, so below.
I liked this park, personally, and think it's well built and stocked with plenty of wonderful equipment. The rope attractions are unique and rarely on a playground in such high numbers.
I don't think we ever forgo the swings,
especially when they're of the seated variety.
We played king of the mountain on the hump that completes the circle (look at a Google Map image of the park and you'll see it makes a complete circle https://maps.google.com/maps?q=humboldt+park+playground+california+chicago&ll=41.905315,-87.6973&spn=0.000534,0.000966&fb=1&gl=us&hq=humboldt+park+playground+california&hnear=0x880e2c3cd0f4cbed:0xafe0a6ad09c0c000,Chicago,+IL&cid=0,0,15908872462850935332&t=h&z=21&iwloc=A)
Awesome park with plenty to keep you occupied, I agree with my boys' assessment: five stars.
