We love Smith Playhouse and Playground ("the kids' play place in the park")! Right in Fairmount Park, Smith was created over 100 years ago to provide a safe and FREE place for inner-city kids to have fun. It includes 24,000 square foot playhouse full of old-school toys (play kitchen, large wooden train, numerous ride-on toys -- on three levels!) and a gorgeous outdoor playground complete with a BRAND NEW tot lot for the toddlers!! Only children under 5 may go in the Playhouse, while the Playground is for children under 10. Of course, kids love the 13 foot-wide wooden slide!
The first Wednesday of the month is story hour at 10:30. Crafts are the third Friday of the month at 10:30. We haven't been to either yet.
The parking lot is big and free.
What a great place for kids, rain or shine!
Smith Playhouse & Playground surely looks like a great place for little ones to have fun! Enjoy Fairmount Park in this beautiful weather! Very cute photos too!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!! I am looking for quick plans because I am not an expert builder but really want a playhouse for the littles this year. My oldest turns 4 next week & would LOVE to give her a playhouse for her birthday. Yours looks like I MIGHT be able to accomplish it in time. Thank you!
