Opened in October 2023 as the first piece of the FDR Park Plan, this two-acre nature-forward playground for all ages claims the largest swing set in North America with 20 swings, plus birdhouse towers, embankment slides, and an accessible adventure path. It is named for the first woman to lead Philadelphia's City Council.
