This is the one!  Number TEN!  This park is so super-rad, it's hard to get it into pictures or words.  For this one, I thank my good friend Kevin and his daughter Nora for sharing it with us.  

It's located in Evanston (which is not Chicago, but it was worth the trip), and we rounded up a bit of a posse for this one, including:  my sister Franny, her son Cole, our friend Alejandra, her niece Alicia, Kevin, Nora, and, of course, Máximo, Georgie and me.

The crew.

This is an all-wooden park, allegedly made from penny donations.  It's wonderfully shaded under some deciduous trees and it's just gorgeous. 

Without a need to explain, the boys' reviews were 100% in agreement:

Máximo - ★★

George Carlos - 

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

 G & his cousin Cole climbin' some wood.
 Máxi and me looking down the tire shoot, and back up at Máximo.
La Alicia.
 Nora the Explora.
 Coley, Ale, Máxi and Nora.
 Máximo and George Carlos and a cool shakey implement.
 Kev and Máximo on a balance beam.
 GCVV
 G again, running around.
Again.

 Seriously, look at this place.

 Nora, Cole and Alejandra.
 Majestic.
Alicia and Nora on the slide. 


Honestly, though, this is the kind of park that requires a visit to understand how really cool it is.
