Markward Playground

My kid’s been coming to this playground and summer camp for years. He loves it and so do I. It’s very well run, supervised, clean and great for kids. Dog friendly, basketball, tennis, water fountains, bathrooms and the nicest, most responsible ladies you’ll ever find work here. The grass is always nearly cut and there’s plenty of trees and shade. Can’t ask for a better experience for your child.

We love this playground, quiet part of the city and if you are lucky a freight train will go past. We can easily spend an hour here in a blink of an eye.

Very nice playground ans green space. It has two sides...one for smaller children and another for bigger children. There are baby swings and big kid swings. Plenty of trees to catch some nice cool shade. There is a basketball court, tennis court, a field to play soccer. There is also a doggie park for the dogs. If you want to just relax there are plenty of benches.

This colorful playground is part of the Schuylkill River Park. When we visited on a Sunday, the playground was being enjoyed by lots of families. There were crafts and toddller play time activities organized by some adult volunteers under a shady tree. This playground is near the entrance to the Schuylkill River Trail. On Sundays, there's free street parking and there were a number of spaces open on a summer weekend. For families with older children, there are basketball, paddle ball and tennis courts near the playground.

Good amount of things for kids to climb and play on. Has a little waterfall for kids to get wet in during the summer.
