FIELD TRIP: Hyland

They certainly aren't exaggerating when they say Hyland Play Area is huge. It certainly is!

The structure includes platforms, hexagonal climbers and slides up to 50 feet long.
 

The play area is located within Hyland's Recreation Park Area, and is part of the Three Rivers Park District. Nearby is a visitor center with limited concessions, restrooms, a fireplace, and cross-country ski rental in winter.

The only downside to the play area is that there is little shade, so it gets very hot. There's just a small amount of shade cast by umbrellas near the little kid area.

Oh, and as a parent, it's super hard to see your kids because of the tunnels and netting. I wouldn't take young kids there because you'll lose them. If I didn't have a 6-year-old who could look after the 3-year-old, we wouldn't have lasted there more than 10 minutes.
