Have Fun at Burr Ridge's Route 66-Themed Playground-- Part 1

From the September 10, 2022, Northwest Herald, Illinois by Ryan Searl.

This is part of the weekly "The First Hundred Miles" series on Route 66's first one hundred miles from Chicago.

Route 66's newest point of interest is introducing visitors of all ages to the history and fun of this legendary roadway.

The Burr Ridge (Illinois) Park District has created an immersive new play landscape themed after some of the top attractions found along Route 66.  It is located in Harvester Park, just a stone's throw from historic Route 66 and conveniently close to I-55, County Line Road and Illinois Route 83.  

This amazingly detailed park is already a hit with residents with its homage to a trip along the Mother Road.  Park goers are treated to  to an interactive cross-country journey encompassing several pieces of children's play equipment-- all immaculately designed to look like popular roadside stops.

I wonder if it would look weird to see a 71-year-old oldster playing on some of that stuff?
