Smith Playground



I heard about this really cool playground called the Smith Playground from a co-worker whose son is 7 months older than big guy. She said it was like a hidden treasure... tucked away in fairmount park, an old mansion that was converted into a huge playground- inside and out for kids. Hubs and I decided to give it a try.

We got there a little before 10am, which is good b/c that's when it opens- guess we should have checked times! Anyway, the playground is amazing. There are different zones for different ages. We stayed in the "tot-lot" which is for ages 5 and under. The equipment is all new- it doesn't get overheated, it's fun shapes- cars, trains, boats, the ground is made of squishy material. Just so cool.

Big guy was most fascinated with the train. You can climb in and sit on little benches. Then walk in between cars. There was also a cool boat with a steering wheel. And one of the things I was most surprised he liked was a mini boat with netting that spun around. He thought it was hilarious to spin in a circle! We'll have to go back, but hopefully pick a day that is less hot and sunny. We were definitely sweating!
