If you're in search of a spectacular playground and playhouse free of charge, I suggest you accompany your kids to Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse, a secret gem of Philly history conveniently located off of Kelly Drive in Fairmount Park. With over six acres of land, the playground is sure to win over the kids in its infinite opportunities of entertainment and activities. And because it's a non-governmental entity, donations are always welcome and appreciated by the all-volunteer staff. A little money goes a long way in helping this non-profit complete restoration projects and build on its continued success in leaving kids one-hundred percent entertained.
