My kids are toddlers and my number one all-time-favorite park and playground feature is a fence. Thankfully, there are tons of fun playgrounds for little kids in our area that are enclosed to add a little extra peace of mind, especially for those keeping an eye on multiple little ones.
Want more places to explore? Our list of best parks for toddlers is another great list of good playgrounds for littles, both fenced-in and not.
Pro-Tip: If the park you’re visiting is enclosed by a gate, double-check that the latch clicks behind you so the little runners are safe and you can breathe easier while they play!

Spring Park in La Grange is also a nice fenced in park! Located at the corner of 53rd St and Spring Ave.
There is also a fenced-in tot park in countryside- not sure the name of it but it’s on the corner of bob-o-link drive and 7th Ave.
