Weisman Playlot Park

Recently renovated, the park has a new soft-surface play area filled with swings, a slide, picnic tables, drinking fountains, benches, and water spray feature. To add a little whimsy to the landscape a beautiful interactive fish tank mosaic was designed by artist Martha Crandall and the Chicago Mosaic School. This is a pretty, picturesque and fun stop!
