We found the best tot lots and toddler playgrounds in Philly where the little ones can let off their steam.

Like a lot of things in those early years, going to a playground with a toddler can feel treacherous. Everything is a little too big so you find yourself helicoptering your kid's every move. That's why tot lots are perfect for the smallest kiddos. With fun interactive areas, smaller steps and slides, and baby swings, these pint-sized playgrounds mean kids can have a little more independence while they play (and so can you!). If you’re looking for fun, safe playgrounds ideal for younger kids, we've got a list of some great tot lots in the Philadelphia area.
