Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse

Fodor's Review:

Founded in 1899, this beloved facility has been completely refurbished in recent years with state-of-the-art, age-specific equipment; the centerpiece of the 6 1/2 acre site is the aptly named Giant Slide, which measures 40 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet tall and can accommodate up to 12 children at a time.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Apr.-Oct., Tues.-Sun. 10-4
