Filbert Playlot Park

Folks leave their toys which is awesome. Love the different types of play equipment. Only issue and it is obvious but you are literally next to the train so very loud. This is a hidden gem of a park!

Filbert Park is a tiny neighborhood pocket park with playground equipment designed for young children. Nearly everything is low to the ground making it great for toddlers and preschoolers. The largest play structure is near the entrance with a few slides; moving back into the site there are drum panels, interactive panels, and a small set of swings (one toddler and one belt seat).

The non-play amenities are also designed for younger park-goers; the play area is fully enclosed and has a soft rubber surface. There are benches and picnic tables (with shade umbrellas!) as well as a drinking fountain. The site is quite open and is feet from the CTA Brown Line track. All in all, this is a popular and unique playground designed for young children.

The children love this park! Not exclusively is the recreation center pretty refreshed however there are additionally huge loads of toys around for them to play with. This is our #1 park to visit!

The playground itself is really nice and not too busy. It's more for older kids (5+) but toddlers will enjoy it too. Only one toddler/baby swing and one big kid swing. The train runs right above the park so if that isn't for you, avoid this park. It doesn't bother me and my kid loves it. The plastic toys are run down and break a lot.

Nice cozy park. Great for infants too 😊 benches and tables available and good shade. Only minor issue is it's right under the Irving Park brownline stop and the train passes every 5 mins..super loud. So if your kid is scared of loud noises, I wouldn't recommend taking him/her there. However, I've noticed some kids wearing earbuds or headpieces to block out the noise!
