Meadow Road Tot Lot, Northbrook, IL

Meadow Road Tot Lot occupies a small, well-maintained parcel at the north end of Meadow Road, adjacent to the North Branch Trail corridor. The playground includes modern equipment designed for ages two to five, with a poured-in-place rubber surface for fall protection. A short spur trail connects the play area directly to the 20-mile North Branch paved path, giving residents immediate access to bicycling and jogging routes that run through the forest preserves. Mature trees along the perimeter provide shade in summer, while the open lawn allows winter sunlight for sledding on a modest slope. Restroom facilities and drinking fountains are located at the adjacent Meadow Road parking lot, maintained year-round by the Park District of Northbrook. The lot sits less than a quarter-mile from the Techny Basin trailhead and within a mile of both the Northbrook Public Library and the Metra Milwaukee District North station, linking the park to daily errands and commuting options without requiring a car.
