Oakton Park

Boo for wood chip floors. Yay for lots of swings,
different levels of park, a big field next to it, and so much
equipment you can easily play lava monster on it and it’s actually a
lot of fun. Unfortunately the Skokie Park District building is RIGHT
next to it so you don’t feel like you have much privacy nor can you
sneak in when it’s late to swing or slide or whatever it is you kids
do these days in parks at night… However they have a nice little
tower thing to climb up for your kids that they don’t have at other
parks in the area. The pro to the community center being there though
is that if you need a bathroom they’ve got a few of them, also they
have a vending machine so if you’re dying of thirst in the middle of
the summer and need something to drink and a cool building to stop
into for a few minutes you can stop in. Oh yes! They also have a sand
volleyball court (2 of them if I remember correctly). Lots of traffic
from people in the park and those who walk by the path that is right
there but still a nice park.

A beautiful park in skokie! The grass is green and the washrooms are actually clean. In the summer they have an International fest where different cultures perform and also have informational and retail booths. A 2 day event… the turn out is pretty good. Great way to spend a summer day.
