Amenities- Playground, tennis courts, pond, an indoor building, walking paths, parking.

Stephens Recreational Island-9650 West Higgins Road
This park pretty much an island.  Yup, an island not surrounded by water, but by asphalt. It looks like its a private park because its so convenient for the apartments around it.  It is only a playground and parking.  There are a few trees on the property though, and they do offer a little shade.
Size-N/A
Amenities-Playground, parking.

Margaret J. Lange Park-6140 North Scott Street
This is their flagship park.  That means that it holds the park offices, and its also the largest.  When you com up on the neighborhood its in, there is a guard's hut at the entrance.  Don't worry, its still a public place.  We had no trouble biking in, its just that they want to keep the people living there safe.  The park has a large field with 2 baseball fields, and a playground.  They also have a splash park here, as well as 2 tennis courts.  You can sign up for classes in the building, and they have plenty of parking.
Size-N/A
Amenities-Playground, 2 baseball fields, 2 tennis courts, splash park, indoor facility, parking.

Stephens Athletic Complex-6101 North Ruby Street
The athletic complex (they use the word complex loosely), is in conjunction with Rosemont Elementary school.  It is just 5 and 1/2 blocks away from Margaret J. Lange park, and in the same neighborhood.  There is a baseball field, and open space.  The pool is part of the school, and from what it looks like, no exactly public.
Size-N/A
Amenities-Baseball field, open space, private pool, bathrooms, parking.

Barry Recreation Center-7128 Barry Street
