About this activity
Lincoln Playground (Telscer Playground) is a neighborhood favorite that was renovated as part of Chicago Plays!, a citywide effort to improve access to safe, modern play spaces. The updated playground features a well-designed play structure, open space to run, and family-friendly amenities that make it easy to spend time outdoors. It’s a reliable go-to for everyday play, whether you’re meeting friends or stopping by for a quick outing.
The park reflects the city’s commitment to making outdoor play accessible, ensuring families have a welcoming space to gather, explore, and enjoy year-round.
