Children and children at heart will delight in SMITH The Kids’ Play Place in the Park. Located in Fairmount Park, this enormous playground attraction covers over six and a half acres, not including the 24,000-square-foot mansion that serves as a playhouse for children 10 and under. The combination of open fields and specialized toys and equipment make Smith a childhood experience to treasure.
