Also known as the “tot lot”, this park is fenced on all sides and great for young kids. Originally acquired in 1970, it was redeveloped in 2002, with a demonstration rain garden added in 2008. This park has a fully equipped play area with swings and plenty of other things to climb on! Located close to Downtown Swarthmore, it is a great place to visit and then walk into town for a meal or snack. The park is located on Rutgers Avenue
