DOUBLE FEATURE WEEKEND!  This visit is one of two for this weekend.  

Wicker Park in Wicker Park, eh?  I've lived in Wicker Park and can never recall actually being within the perimeter of the park itself, so Máximo, George Carlos and I took Saturday trip over there.

This park is beautiful, and even has public restrooms - of which we partook immediately upon our arrival, as G-bomb had had his way with all sorts of water earlier.

When we finally got to see the park, we were psyched.  It had unique and rad equipment, kids everywhere.  Looks like there's some splash-pad equipped dancing bears that spew water when the gods of the park deem it appropriate.

Boys?:

Máximo - ★★★★★, "I liked the teeter totter, and some of the other equipment."

George Carlos - ★★★★★, "...because it was awesome!"

It IS a really nice park.  Some of the climbing apparatuses are super cool.  The shape of the equipment is imaginative and the layout is unconventional.

My one complaint is that there are only 4 swings.  Georgie wanted to swing on the swing with the big plastic chair chained to it and he sat patiently on a bench and waited his turn, which came about 10 minutes later - but it came and he enjoyed it.

This one deserves a 5-star rating, it's really nice.
