Festival Park Playground 132 South Grove Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120

"A very nice space. The circular climbing area felt somewhat on safe, as there was nothing to catch someone who might have fallen through the middle. But then again I'm 25 so it probably wasn't designed for me."

"Stopped here after visiting with some friends in the area. Nice busy park. Lots of fun things for the kids. Good for all ages."

"I have one major issue with this park: the play structure. The music play for babies and toddlers is awesome and it's a great thing to have next to a splash pad. The structure itself, however, should be nowhere near a splash pad. It is a fun structure for younger grade schoolers when the water is turned off. It turns into a play structure for young teens when the splash pad is operational, though. During the summer, older kids dump water down the slide, making it unsafe for younger children. It's not even a climbable structure for smaller sized children, regardless of age. The structure itself is best suited for older kids. If you are looking for a good place to play with younger kids, this is an awesome park when the water is off. My kid could have hours of fun. We only go if the splash pad is off, though. It's more fun in spring and fall on dry days anyways. Less people, and no safety issues. PS kids need to fall on their arse growing up, but they don't need to risk serious injury."

"Nice new playground but kids got bored after 15 min of playing. Sadly, we won't be coming back. Both of my kids loved the web that was there for the past few years. Also, splash park is not working as of June 25th, 2019."

"If you have energetic kids, no funds, and a very hot day Festival Park is for you. The splash fountains are fun to watch and great to play in. Even crowded with kids there's still enough room to relax and to play. The attached playground is designed to burn energy as well as foster creativity, and the park bathrooms are up a short flight of steps and usually very clean, well stocked, and well maintained. There is street parking as well as a small free parking lot across the street. Finding a close place to park is rarely an issue. For Pokemon Go players there are 5 pokestops and a gym literally within 20 steps of each other in every direction, and there is usually 2 or more lures active all the time. All in all it's a great place for adults to relax, kids to play, and everyone to have fun."
