Park Fun at the Village Green in Northbrook

There are a ton of great parks all over the Northern suburbs. This makes the area great if you want to change things up! One park that my daughter absolutely loves is the Village Green in Northbrook.

The Village of Green has three different playsets designed for different age groups. What I really like about the set up is that the playset for the toddlers is in a little alcove. Thus, it is separated a little from the playsets for the older children. There also are swings, a sandbox area, and fields for the kids to run in. A nice walking path cuts through the park and a baseball field is the site of lively games. Restrooms are accessible in a park building--another nice plus!

Across the street from the park, there is Little Louie's, a great hot dog joint. Also, you can satiate your sweet tooth at Yogen Fruz or Baskin Robbins.  Sometimes it is nice to grab a snack and eat it in the park!

The Village Green is located at the corner of Meadow and Shermer Roads in Northbrook if you feel like giving it a try!
