3 Nearby Playgrounds Worth Visiting

Not all playgrounds are created equal.  I’ve been to a fair share of the neighborhood parks to discover this alarming fact.  However, there are a few wonderful gems among the quartz.  If you are looking to capitalize on the cooler weather, get your kids in the car and visit these parks!

Kimberton Park- Located on 2202 Kimberton Road in Phoenixville, this park has the best facilities I’ve found locally.  There are three giant playground equipment centers that are PERFECT for toddlers as well as the bigger kids.  Some playground equipment makes me wince when my toddler is climbing at heights I’m not quite comfortable with….Kimberton avoids this to the relief of parents everywhere with daredevil children.  This park also boasts a giant sandbox and swings! 

Wilson Farm Park-   the website certainly doesn’t do this park justice.  It’s missing pictures of an amazingly huge playground (and one a very nice foam foundation- no woodchips!)  Slides, rock wall, swings, jungle gym, and fantastic bathroom facility right there!  It’s located near the Chesterbrook shopping center by the interchange of 202 and 252.  You want to head to the “family activities” area. Don’t be fooled by the small playground area when you first enter the park.  Travel to the back of the park and you will find the gold! 

Manderach Memorial Playground- located at Limerick Community Park Swamp Pike and Ziegler Road.  This place hosts a giant playground castle for the bigger kids and separate smaller castles for the toddlers to place in too!  It’s truly a marvel of playground science.  Beware though, the place is naturally swarming with kids!
