What is this?

In January 2012, my daughter Zora and I began documenting all of the playgrounds that we visited. We started by biking to the playgrounds nearest our house in West Philly. Then, we borrowed a car and visited playgrounds in Southwest Philly & on the other side of the Schuylkill River. This website reports on our visits. You can comment on each playground. Or you can email me at michaelrfroehlich@gmail.com. We hope you enjoy our project.
