Winnemac Park — Attraction in Lake View Township

The locals affectionately refer to the playground as 'Twinnemac Park' due to the numerous sets of twins who regularly play there. The playground area is fenced in with black padding surrounding the equipment and swings. There's grassy areas with trees perfect for those seeking some shade from the sun. Kids can ride their bikes and scooters around the playground while still inside the fence, which is a huge bonus.

There are two main play structures with a total of 6 slides for kids of all ages. Two baby swings, 3 standard, and 1 chair swing. They playground area is located at the corner of Argyle and Leavitt which is the on the southwest corner of the park.

The park itself is enormous and boasts several baseball diamonds, large patches of grass, nature paths, tennis courts (2) a walking path wide enough for bikes that twists through the entire park and connects to all four streets that boarder the park. Cars are not permitted, however. The nature paths are especially beautiful and not to be missed. It's a go to location for many professional photography shoots.

Amundsen High School track and football stadium (newly renovated in 2018) are on the grounds and open to the public when not in use by CPS. Go Vikings!

Look, I'm just gonna come out and say it: If you haven't been to Winnemac Park, or aren't currently planning your first trip, you're no friend of nature and nature is no friend of yours. I know that might be difficult to hear, but sometimes we have to have difficult conversations in order to grow as human beings. It might not seem like it now, but you'll thank me for this later....

This is a Lincoln Square favorite. Winnemac Park has provided the neighborhood with ample green space since 1910. Its easily accessible from various bus routes. In 2018, the Chicago Cubs donated funds to help remodel Winnemac Park's baseball and softball fields, where Amundsen High School plays its home games. What's unique about this neighborhood park is that its part of the school-park campus program encompasses 22.38 acres, including land owned by both the Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Park District. The park is surrounded by Damen on the east, Foster on the north, Leavitt on the west and Argyle on the south. In 2008 the park officially opened a new accessible playground for the community.

In 1999, Winnemac Park was renovated with $2 million in improvements including the addition of 200 trees, a nature trail and scenic prairie, three a soccer field, softball fields, new walkways, decorative lights and fencing. Openlands has planted many trees in Winnemac Park.

The park's youth programs include basketball, bitty basketball, after-school drop-in, soccer, Cubs Care rookie baseball, and...
