Best of Philly

2024 Playground

Anna C. Verna Playground

It’s hard not to be the best playground when you have the largest swing set in the country. And this new spot just off Broad and Pattison sports just that. There are also all sorts of nifty things to climb on and ride down — like a 25-foot slide that looks like it’s dropping kids out of the sky — and plenty of green space for chilling after your kid is finally worn out.
