More like Oz Bar...this place lit up during the 2020 pandemic. With all the bars closed, Lakeview’s yuppies flocked here with twist off wine bottles and Trulys to hang out in a safe outdoor space. Oz Bar is a medley of all age groups: from seniors walking dogs to kids playing hide and seek with everyone respectful. Oz Bar was the best part of the pandemic and taught us we don’t need dark, expensive, exclusive bars with salty staff to have a good time. Opt outside for sunshine, space, and community. 4 out of 5 stars because many of the mutts are not on a leash.

Its a clean and family-friendly park. It has a nice path for exercise or casual walk. Benches are scattered throughout the park if people need to sit down and chill out. Definitely recommend this park for people who live in Lincoln Park area or who are visiting Lincoln Park neighborhood.

One of my favorite parks to stroll through! The Oz statues are so delightful and the park is easy to navigate. I always see a lot of families and dogs out and about, and there are a good number of benches to along the paths.

Such a beautiful place, OMG!On the day I went, the beautiful beach had HUGE waves. Surfers were wading in the water, but I never saw any of them get up.In addition to the beach there are tons of hillsides to climb to relax and/or get different views of the Ocean.PERFECT spot to watch the sunset - weather down at the beach or up on the hillside.You definitely need to visit this place - you will feel like youve left IL behind, when youre only 15 min away.

3 baseball fields, great big playground, lots of open space. Always full of happy people enjoying the outside. Love to come here and picnic. Im going to miss OZ Park if I move from this area

Oz Park is an amazing park within the city of Chicago. If I lived in IL, I can imagine it being a great spot to think, meditate and getaway with getting away. I was told it is bigger than Central Park in IL . The Conservatory of Flowers, the many man made lakes, multiple museums, and endless paths make this one of the great urban parks in the world!

I came here for the Oz stuff, but the park is absolutely gorgeous. It has a really nice wooden playground and a beautiful garden.

Very spacious and very chill sunlight hits their beautifully so all the weather is good its a great place to go sit out and have a picnic play around get some people together just about anything you can think of. had an early evening picnic there right up until sunset not too crowded found some good spots and was able to set up a hammock definitely will go back this summer also within walking distance of some great restaurants and shops

So much to do and of course the cool Wizard of Oz statues! Baseball fields, tennis courts, grass to hang out, a play place for kids!

Fantastic large park with tennis courts, baseball diamond, garden, playground, and more! Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the day and lots of shade. Playground can use a little renovations as its starting to get old. But its a super fun wood playground. Great for big kids. Not great visibility and challenging for toddlers.

Being related to Yip Harburg (lyricist of wizard of oz), I had an obligation to visit this park for myself while in Chicago. I was pleasantly surprised at the vastness of its size and the amount of families and people utilizing it (though covid-19 might be the reason why). The statues of the main characters in the book/film are well done and serve their purpose. Overall its a great place to hangout watch people play some b-ball and relax. If I lived near I certainly would come often.

Havent been out this way since before the pandemic.The park was full of activity..Beautiful park.

Thats an awesome place to spend time for kids and adults-play baseball, tennis or just relax in your hammock. There are those beautiful statues from The wizard of Oz, beautiful trees, flowers, playgrounds, etc. The one thing is very important-weather, it would be great to visit this park when its warm outside.

Living and growing up in a city like Chicago there wasnt always the space available to play football, soccer, or basketball. Oz park offers that and more. It has basketball courts, baseball courts, tennis courts, huge space for any other sports all free and open to the public. Its located in an amazing location in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The area offers plenty of food options nearby for breaks in between the fun. Overall this park has everything you can look for in a park.

It was about 1988/89, my freshman year at LPHS, when we helped lug lumbar into place for what became Dorthys playground. Today was my 2yr old sons first time...we Loved it! Sad to, maybe gone soon... progress.

Perfect place to go if you are visiting the city and want to get in some great views and hiking. There are many dog friendly places including part of rodeo beach.

The playlot is awesome for the littles. Lots of places to explore. The park in general is large and safe. Full of kind families.

Excellent park...wide open with enough spots for people to sit while maintaining the much required social distancing!

So many dogs and cute friendly people. Lots of fun to have and relaxing.

What a cute place for a picnic! The statues are super dope. Love this for a date.

Awesome park. Packed with people socially distanced on the grass area, picnicking or relaxing.

Great small park with free parking. Love to walk there with wife and friends. It was nice to have there public restroom, but there is none of it. Anyway good thematic park about Oz characters. Also friendly to animals. A lot of dog walking and playing there with owners.

Beautiful park in the middle of Lincoln Park. Tennis courts and baseball diamonds. People let their dogs off the leash here. Dairy Queen right across the street.

A nice place to walk the path. I just wish that people would not be so ignorant by throwing their trash on the ground. Theres garbage cans all over the place. Please be a slob in your home not out in public and making the outside world look messy. Shame on those people.

I nice park with two baseball diamonds, lots of shade, and plenty of benches to rest on. Approximately on each corner there is a statue of a Wizard of Oz character.

This is a lovely and large park! The space is great and its wonderful to see so much green in the city. There are plenty of dogs walking around but they dont distract from the scenery. This park is a gem.

Cute little park with a Wizard of Oz theme. Loved it!

Great park. Lots of green space. Neat Oz statues. Good food nearby

Very fun and friendly place. We have multiple dogs and we all love it!

As part of the community service team I helped pick up garbage. Very dog friendly. Great place to take a walk.

I went to Arnold school n was raised in naiburhood.n in the60swow n never thought it could change like it is now . I like it.n because who ever came out with the name OZ n the sculptures wow.so I took my great grand daughter n took pictures .loved it

Great park. Lots of space to ride ones bike, play ball sports, and climb the jungle gym.

Beautiful park! Love getting the chance to walk my dog Chrysanthemum and see some nature - a saving grace in these tough times

They have picnic tables! Perfect for a socially distanced birthday party.

I love that they have a wooden playset. and its an awesome playset!

Beautiful, big enough, many branches to sit and enjoy, great playground

Oz Park is a hidden treasure.Oz Park is a rather large park located in heart of the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Its quirky character and flurry of activity make it one worth visiting.Theres a bit of everything for everyone at Oz Park. Theres a playground for kids to play at. Theres a large garden thats perfect for bringing a book for an afternoon read. And theres softball fields and lots of green areas for a ton of roaming. Not to mention the statues that attract so many to this park.The statues are a bit spread out but rather easy to find. Finding each one is like finding a small treasure at a beach.5/5. Absolutely love this place.

Beautiful park, the statues are nice and the flora is gorgeous. Everyone seemed to be practicing proper social distancing which is a plus!!

Great for meeting dog people. Nearby cafes and restaurants and a Dairy Queen at corner of Lincoln Avenue and Webster Street.

A nice park neighborhood park, but the grass needs a little up keep.

Spacious with two baseball diamonds and a flower garden. Lovely picnic location!

Its a beautiful park with so many activities and has cute Oz themed statues.

Fabulous park with tennis courts, baseball diamonds, basketball, childrens playground

Nice park for kids and grown-up. Baseball fields, playground for kids under 5 but I would say under 8 should be good. Nice Oz movie sculptures around the park.

The park has lots of shade in hot summer days. Even tennis courts have some.

Great place for daily jogging, weekend relaxing, dog walking and sunshine. Embedded with a dog park and children playground.

Really cute, couldnt find the scarecrow

Lots of space to run around, well kept, clean park.

Pretty neat little park. Theyve got statues from the Wizard of Oz scattered throughout the park.Oz Park is also a participant in Statue Stories Chicago. Posted throughout the park, youll find signs that have a QR Code, NFC tag, and web address that will call your phone and narrate the story of the statue to you. The walking tour takes about 30 minutes.

Great park not much riff-raff lol

My kids love the area and place and love going there.

Great green space, and populated baseball diamonds and basketball courts.

This is a feature-packed little park for kids. The location is excellent for a weekend trip in from other parts of the city: a lot of food and drink options just up or down the block. Starbucks, Thai food, burger options, etc. The park had standard swings, as well as toddler swings (and a tire swing too!). A sprawling kids castle/climb element is the central piece of the park. Also right next to a beautiful public garden and baseball field.So why four stars instead of five? There’s always some graffiti in this park. We’ve had a purse stolen at this location. Some of the rocking features need to be replaced.

One of my favorite parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball, baseball diamonds,and tons of open spaces all right in the backyard of the Lincoln Park Highschool

Its an awesome park with tons to do. The kids playground is great with many different types of activities for kids of many different age levels. The park has large grassy areas for all sorts of activities. In the summer (fall?) they sometimes play movies on a giant screen projector. There are also separate sections like a tennis court and a baseball field. Good location and accessible too.

This park is okay but Im not a dog person there were just too many dogs out there for me and my children

Lovely park in Chicago with wizard of Oz statues good space kids play area lovely on a sunny afternoon

Lovely park in the middle of town. Loved the character statues

Very good quality play center my granddaughter enjoyed herself immensely

Great place to smoke weed

Nice park, clean - hard to get a tennis court though.

Beautiful open park with dog, and dog free areas. Great place to hang out.

Another beautiful hidden gem in Chicago.

Great Park and a great place to relax at anytime of the day

Freddy and I just starting to celebrate our Anniversary over next couple weeks...

Nice little park right next to Lincoln high school

Not a great place to visit in a snow storm! But the statues were cool. Probably a great place to visit in the sunshine!

Beautiful park but sadly a lot folks are not observing covid 19 safety; ie masks and social distancing. If you are concerned about contracting covid steer clear for now.

So much fun!

Awesome park! people had their dogs off leash (all well behaved). lots of kids and pups!

This is a small park with the characters from The Wizard of Oz. Its a great park for walking or running.

Lots of space and room to spread out

Great park for some frisbee, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, and dog walking.

Good park, rating 5 stars to increase property value

This is one of our favorite parks to go to. We have a two year old who loves to swing and this park has at least six swings available for little kids. Even if you need to wait for a swing you rarely wait long. Probably three or four slides to choose from but careful metal slides can be a little fast.Park is a good mix of older equipment and newer equipment but everything is in great shape. Even on a sunny day the park remains fairly shaded which is a plus.

Happened to stumble upon this park yesterday and loved it! It is a very well thought out park, from the 4 statues, meandering paths, Emerald City Gardens (my favorite part - so many types of flowers and plants!!), Dorothy’s playground, baseball field and basketball courts. It is a lovely place to spend some time if you’re in the area!

Princes Eva loved this park. Lots of fellow dogs and plenty of things to sniff..

Nice park for kids to play ball

Beautiful park great area

This is a really cool Park located in the heart of Lincoln Park. There are statues of the characters from The Wizard of Oz located on the North east corner of the park as well as a playground that is pretty legit and quite a few restaurants and bars in the area that are worth hitting up.

Beautifully designed and maintained.

Always a fun time!

This park is stunning! I am a big fan of Wizard of Oz, and I must say the statues look amazing. I can relax here and read a book all day long.

Great place to walk your dog! This fun park has beautiful sculptures of characters in the book. Great park surrounded by beautiful homes.

Beautifully kept park with spaces for everyone: tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball court, playground, garden, and walking paths, plus Wizard of Oz sculptures and views of downtown

A nice small park. The different statues of characters from wizards of oz was a nice touch.

So fun! Great statues of Dorothy and her friends. Some have QR codes that when scan Ed you get a phone call from the character telling you about their story at the park!

A nice sunday afternoon walk, the statues were a neat treat for making the walk.

Great idea putting the neighborhood on a map!

Location is convenient; kids love the wooden maze of slides; I get anxiety there, watching my daughter play...

The sculptures tell you a story. Its really cool.

Very nice, chill, clean, cute park. Parking is difficult in the day but later in the evening or early morning on weekdays its much easier. Finding the different characters from the Wizard of Oz is really cute.

Only been here to watch Wizard of Oz each summer on the anniversary of its release (80 years now!) but it looks like a cool little park. Statues of the main four characters at each corner.

Great neighborhood park for a short run and daily dog walks.

Nice park, waaaayyyyy too overcrowded.

Great playground. Enclosed so you dont have to worry about the little ones running off. We really like the quiet garden as well.

I love this park, it’s perfect for kids.

So nice

Great park with oz theme of playground and structures. Good to relax in the park. Plenty of area to just be alone if wanted to.

Love to run around with my pup here
