Hooff Run Playground Renovation

photo 1We stop by the newly renovated Hooff run playground recently to check out the new space.The city has replaced all of the existing play structures and installed a new rubberized safety surfacing. The play structures includes swings for children, infants and children with disabilities. There’s a nice large see-saw that accommodates multiple riders on each side.photo 4The main play structure has plenty of slides and several fun areas to climb and tunnels to explore. There’s also a seperate imaginative play area for preschool children. photo 2Several children were enjoying the lone rotating equipment which is essentially a spinning stick, for lack of a better description. photoThere’s also a climbing/bridge structure which is nice for older children. photo 3I would say that the plate area is most suitable for children ages 2 to 5. Park also includes grassy areas and a basketball court. The landscaping work around the park is still in progress. Hooff run is tucked in off the street at 99 E. Rosemont Ave.
