Roberto Clemente Park and Playground is a great urban spot in downtown Philadelphia to play and run. 

The playground equipment is classic but modern with a large plastic spiral slide, climbing features, and swings for babies and big kids. The ground has a soft turf feature which is great for safety and even being barefoot. In the summer there is a very popular sprayground that kids absolutely love to run around in on hot days to cool off, and there are plenty of benches for you to sit and watch. Because of this playground location, there are also a variety of options around the block to pick up takeout and bring for a picnic or to enjoy lunch outside. 

If your child gets bored of the playground, there is a large field equipped for all sports and basketball courts (one of which is the site where Will Smith filmed the opening to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) for you to utilize and enjoy. There is also a baseball diamond that kickball and baseball leagues often use. The large multi-purpose field is often in use, so keep that in mind when planning your day. There are water fountains available in the rec center as well as restrooms. 

This is a fun spot for kids to be outside with other kids. The playground and sprayground were recently renovated and are overall very clean and fun. The equipment on the playground is suitable for kids of all ages as well! There are murals all over this area and can be a great spot for photos of just some colorful art inspiration!
