Playgrounds are Plazas Too

I went biking on Sunday along the river lake path on the North side. I've been biking there more often as spring has sprung and am amazed by the number of people that hang out in the parks along the river.

I've seen: some ladies plein aire painting. A traditionally dressed muslim couple pushing a stroller, followed shortly by a hasidic mother and son strolling too. An intense ultimate frisbee game. The most populated areas are playground areas, which have their own plaza type function. Kids play on the equipment while older brothers and sisters, muslim mothers, or whomever sit along the sides and gab.
