Shenandoah Park

Growing up, I had a few friends who lived in this neighborhood and I can remember this park back in the day… it’s still a great playground. Located off Meacham Road, just off the Elgin O’hare, it’s set in a nice quiet neighborhood and in the middle of a large open grassy area with plenty of space for running around, playing baseball/​softball, kickball, etc. One main playground set here (a smaller set with tube crawler for the younger ones), but perfect for all ages. Monkey bars, slides, climbers. My 3-​year-​old can climb the entire set, but it gets a little tall for him in some spots — meaning I have to go up there and get him. Swing sets with the standard swing seat and also baby seat.
My kids favorite thing here — the jumping spring pods. They have a cute double rider too where both kids can sit together. And there is a nice covered picnic table here which is perfect for snack time and shade on hot/​sunny days. Lots of bench seating around the playground.
