McPherson Square Park
Kensington, Philadelphia
McPherson is a large historic square anchored by the Carnegie library. The play equipment is functional and the surrounding lawn is good for a picnic.
Do your own scouting before your first visit — conditions in the surrounding blocks vary and daytime with other families is the norm.
