SMITH The Kids' Play Place in the Park is a brand new Tot-Lot – a one of a kind play place just for children 5 and younger which opened in August 2009. Made possible with funding from CSX, other corporations, individuals and foundations, the Tot-Lot is the size of four tennis courts and contains more than 20 pieces of play equipment – everything from a pirate ship to swings. The state-of-the-art accessible play space has been receiving rave reviews from children and caregivers and welcomes more than 100 littles one each day.
