My family visited the Obama Presidential Center playground, and my kids, 6 and 9, had a blast. Located in Chicago's Jackson Park, the play area serves up fun for kids of all ages and abilities. There's lots to see and do, but not much shade for now. When the Obama Presidential Center opened its doors earlier this summer, so many things caught my eye. The 19.3-acre campus within Chicago's Jackson Park is home to beautiful native gardens, contemporary art, and historical artifacts. Truly, all things I want to experience. But as a mom with two kids who usually have some serious energy to burn, I was also quite thrilled to see how extensive the playground is.
