After being cooped up for weeks, my daughter was finally cool letting us go for a walk so we heard out. I'm sorry to say that even though I've lived in my home nearly 14 years, I've never gone to Winnemac Park (though I've watched the fireworks from my roof deck!). I knew it was relatively large but it's bigger than I expected. There are a couple of ball fields, one at the corner of Damen & Ainslie and one further west; there's a playground in the southwestern corner of the park; and the stadium for Chappell/Amundsen. There's a natural area ribboning through the park filled with native plants, including Bee Balm, Joe Pye Weed, Wild Bergamot, and others. And there's a youth garden on the western side of the park near Jordt Stadium with some plant beds containing fruits and vegetables. There is not a dog park area here, though there's some contentiousness in the neighborhood between those who want one and those who don't. I'm glad we have this beautiful, multi-use park just a few blocks away that will make it easy for me to enjoy it with my little girl whilst we continue to live here. read more
