Maggie Daley Park

Exciting game world set against the impressive Chicago skyline.

In the heart of Chicago, the eight-hectare Maggie Daley Park is a spacious leisure facility set against the city's impressive skyline. Since its completion at the end of 2014, the new park, which attracts families with young and older children and teenagers alike, has had an unmistakable presence. Even the entrance to the park is extraordinary: a bridge designed by Frank Gehry leads from Millennium Park over to Maggie Daley Park. Various climbing rocks and a huge ice skating rink can be seen from afar.
A particular crowd-puller is the approx. 13,000 m2 playground, which the company Richter Spielgeräte from Frasdorf helped to design and equip. The concept is bold, varied and surprising, both from an aesthetic and design point of view and from an educational perspective. In addition to various elements such as a play pyramid, lighthouse with slide, fishing boat with climbing nets and a harbour as well as nest cradles for the very little ones, the playground is particularly impressive with its two ten-metre-high square towers with a suspension bridge over 35 meters long and a variety of integrated play options. Here you can not only climb, balance and experience height, but young and old alike can also enjoy hiding, live out their childish imagination in role-playing games and experience a wide variety of physical phenomena on the rotating disks, the telescope or the rotating stone.
