Smith Memorial Playground is one of those best-kept secrets in the area. It never ceases to amaze me how many mamas have never heard of it, because when you go there are tons of kiddos and their parents. That's not a problem though, because the playhouse is literally a mansion. It is 16,000 square feet of fun for little ones.
Outside the playground is the size of 6, yes 6, football fields. So no matter how crowded the parking seems, there is plenty of room for everyone to play!
It is located in East Fairmont Park in Philadelphia and is a free, yes free, place for kids to play the day away. Donations are accepted. The playhouse is recommended for kids 5 and under, while the playgrounds are recommended to kids 10 and under. Parties, field trips, and groups pay a small fee to utilize the space. The facility is always closed on Monday's.

The playground is hands-down the best playground I've ever seen. It has some fun and unique play structures. One is the giant wooden covered slide. You can zoom down the slippery slide (they wax it) on a burlap sack. I'm telling you, even as adults my hubby and I could not get enough of the slide!
