Amenities- Playground, drinking fountain, bench, open 6am to 10pm.

North Village Park-4800 North Foster Avenue
This park has one differentiator that only a kid during summer can vouch for: a water spray playground.  When its 90 degrees outside, it helps to have a water spray playground, and not have to look awkward running through your neighbor's sprinkler.  Other than that, North Village also runs through the rest of the seasons with a normal playground, and also a picnic shelter.  Becmches populate the borders of this enclosed-playground park.  Of course there also has to be a drinking founatin.

Clocktower Park-9501 West Irving Park Road

Stalica Park-9200 West Irving Park Road
If you are driving on River Road, chances are you will notice this park.  It is on the far esat side of Schiller Park, and really becomes the "entrance" of the city.  It serves that purpose well.  Most of the park is consumed by a softball and baseball field, as well as a sunny (and hot in the summer) playground.  The gazebo offers much needed shade so that you can stay at the park longer and pay for concessions.  Walking paths encase the whole park, and there are nice water fountains.  Stalica Park is also close by to a shopping mall with more parking and restaurants.
Amenities-Baseball/softball field, basketball court, playground, walking paths, drinking fountains, gazebo, picnic shelter, benches, concession stand, open 6am to 10pm.

Kennedy Park and Anna Montana Memorial Pool-4001 North Scott Street
Kennedy Park is on the south end of Schiller Park, and offers a well landscaped playground, albeit with not much shade.  A baseball and softball field close up the southern portion of the park.  The northern portion of the park is north of the pool, and offers other ball courts plus a parking lot.  There is also a fair amount of street parking, but much of that is for the Anna Montana Memorial pool that is connected to the park.  A concession stand serves food to people who are inside and outside of the pool with two separate windows.  The building that has the concessions also has locker rooms, drinking fountains, and a registration desk.  The pool itself has definitely stood apart from the competition.  When you first walk in, you are greeted by a zero depth entry activity pool, with then connects to a deeper portion lap style pool.  That connects to vortex style whirlpool.  The rest of the water park has a diving board, two drop slides, and a larger slide as well.  A sun deck sits right next to a water spray area to complete this nice family friendly neighborhood pool.  For more information about pool registration, please visit: http://www.villageofschillerpark.com/recreation/waterparkregistration.aspx
