Located inside East Fairmount Park, Smith Playground is a playful wonderland designed especially for children 10 and under. The roughly six-acre fun zone is best known for its century-old giant wooden slide and 24,000-square-foot Playhouse, but you'll also find more than 50 unique, age-appropriate pieces of play equipment. Inside the mansion-like Playhouse children, five and under can experience everything from driving a train and cooking in the kitchen to riding a tricycle. Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse has been a treasured destination in the city of Philadelphia for over 100 years and continues to be a source of good, clean fun for kids of all sizes and shapes.
