The Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse is situated on its original historic landscape with over 6 acres of open fields, wooded terrain, and sloped hills. Smith's beautiful, 16,000 square foot Playhouse was designed solely as a play space for children by one of Philadelphia's most prominent late 19th century architects. The park is also home to the century old Ann Newman Giant Wooden Slide, a treasured play experience for generations of children.
