Why do they make these for kids?
While in the nearby Texas section, you'll see two spray-painted cars half buried in the ground -- a clever homage to Amarillo's classic public art installation (you know, Cadillac Ranch), a fixture on the modern Route 66 road trip.
Next, in the New Mexico section, kids can bounce atop a recreation of the Blue Hole, a popular stop on the Mother Road featuring a clear blue pool of water, with extensive underwater caves.
In the Arizona portion, children can take a spin on the Wigwam motel-inspired rope structure. The route comes to an end in California, where a pier-themed area allows you to surf on the turf with a spring balance board. At the end of the roadway, you'll find a giant 3D Route 66 photo-op sign.
The multi-generational play area is sure to be highly popular with travelers of all ages -- allowing even the youngest road-trip enthusuasts to Get Their Kicks on Route 66.
Open tothe public from dawn to dusk, the Harvester Park Playground is at 15W400 Harvester Drive in Burr Ridge.
