Looking for a new playground stomping ground? Go north! Chicago’s North Shore has lots of options for sliding, swinging, climbing and running like the dickens.

You’ll go bananas at everything from mega splash pads to all-natural wood gems.

Penny Park – Evanston

There is talk of renovating this old-time-y but charming playground. For now it remains an all-natural treasure, notable for its wooden, maze-like construction that leads kids from one engaging play area to another. Pretend you're king of the castle in one of its many tower structures or fake like you're blazing a trail in its wooden car with real recycled tires.
