Portage Park Playground

"Beautiful place for a picnic ♡ Awesome play ground and beautiful garden ♡"

"We love this playground! Always lots of kids to play with. A good variety of slides, swings and climbing structures for little and bigger kids. We love the canoes. Very nice homage to the neighborhood. Some elements of disrepair but generally in great shape. We've spent many hours here and it is one of my kid's favorites."

"The playground at Portage Park has the play structures and amenities to make it a true destination. The fully enclosed area on the west side of Portage Park features two large play structures. One structure is designed for smaller children and features several slides, climbing features, and interactive panels. The other structure is even larger and is designed for older children by showcasing more challenging climbing features and larger slides. There are also several other standalone features including a semi-circular climbing net with suspended rings and a very large twisted net for climbing. There are also two large swing sets offering the standard park variety. The play surface is soft rubber. In one area the surface itself has been molded and large sculptural canoes are set in the surface in what is perhaps a nod to the name 'portage park' and the routes that Native Americans used in the area prior to white settlement. The playground is well shaded by many mature trees and a simple pavilion on the northside of the playground. There are also plenty of benches and picnic tables for seating. All in all, this is a great playground and a worthy destination."

"My daughter loves this playground. It's larger and offers more climbing structure than the average play area."

"Nice playground after rebuild. Already floor is falling apart though. Its easy to keep an eye on the little one but it does get packed with kids at times. At least the Park is there and you can go for a walk while the kids run the paths."
