Stanton Central Park

"This was such a cute little park has an area for everyone for the littles to older kiddos This park was very clean, clean restrooms, dog friendly. Will definitely be going back!"

"Best park around, just don’t come if you’re going to trash it or not watch your kids."

"The park seems to be pretty nice overall; we came for a birthday party and to use the water park. Unfortunately the water park is pretty sparse - 1 fountain, 1 slide and a number of statues for some reason. The play structures and other features of the park seem nice, but we didn’t really use them. My only other complaint is the grafitti in the restrooms was really unappealing. Overall, better than average, just don’t count on the “water” park portion."

"Not a great park for small kids. The train playground is labeled for ages 5 and up. Even for 5 years old, there are some gaps on the second tier of the playground that are really wide. Seems hazardous. And then there's a younger kid tiny playground next to this but it's really tiny. Tiny in overall size and components size. (Hard to explain.) There's a cool swing and a climbing thing too. Lots of open grass area and picnic tables. Splash pad looked cool but closed! No word on park district website so drove there for it and then it was off."

"Stanton Central Park is a stupendous location to bring the kids if you are in the area, especially if they like trains. There is an interactive water play area (though closed right now due to Covid-19), however kids seemed to still love to play with the elements there, two playground areas (one smaller playground for little children, and the other main playground), a rope web course for climbing, four tennis courts, skate park, butterfly garden, sports field, and two half-basketball courts. Even though it was the weekend, there was plenty of parking. Restrooms are available near the community center and playground area. The biggest draw is the wonderfully designed train inspired playground where excited kids could play for hours. The playgrounds are a little spread out, and open, so keeping an eye on multiple children can be a little challenging. My kids simply enjoyed it, and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards. Please note that BBQ grills, and moon bounce jumpers are not allowed, however dogs on leashes less than 6 feet are permitted. With so many appealing recreational activities, there is fun to be had for young and old. So, bring the whole family, create memories, and bond through wholesome recreation."
