Nice park . Good for families with small kids, people who like to play sports , to bring your dog, and for people who like the Wizard of Oz.
Your kids will love the Oz-themed sculptures in this park . You'll also find a playground , walking path , tennis courts , and a garden .
The park is pretty huge and great for sporting , but its main attractions are the statues of Dorothy , Toto, and the rest of the gang. I don't recall a yellow-brick road , sadly.
This is my kid's favorite park in Chicago! They love to play hide and seek in the wooden two level open labyrinths of paths.
This park is named after the magical land of Oz , created by L. Frank Baum. The children's author was a Lincoln Park resident in the 1890s.
Really nice place to play baseball , basket... or just relax.
They planted new grass in Fall of 2018 so it should be gorgeous by Summer 2019.
Pickup softball every Sunday 9-11AM from April-Oct as long as the temp is 50 degrees by 8AM. 12" co-ed. We have players of all ages. Come and join us!
Grab your Orange Julius from around the corner at DQ and head for the beautiful shaded playground in the heart of Lincoln Park (via Scoville) Read more
This is where the IMM meetup is. Near the Dorothy statue / playground at the north end of the park .
Sculptures of Dorothy , Tin Man & Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz greet you here. People there didn't seem to know there is also the Cowardly Lion. Hard to find...he's hiding in a corner behind a tree
Nice big park . Great playground too!

Great fun park for the kids but no restrooms close by so stay away from trees if you get my meaning.
