The Anna C Verna Playground in Philadelphia’s FDR Park is now home to North America’s largest swing set, said to be the size of the infield at the Phillies’s Citizen’s Bank Park, ABC News Local-ish reports without mentioning how many swings the set has or how it stacks up against its competitors in South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, or Antarctica. Well, maybe not Antarctica.
It’s a fair question to raise given how “North America’s largest swing set” automatically carries with it the implication that nations in other continents possess larger swing sets. Not that a circular array of continuous metallic pylons with five different types of swings on it the size of a Major League Baseball diamond isn’t impressive billing, it’s just that we needed something to get obnoxiously granular about to produce filler content for National Zero readers and rambling about some poorly written TV affiliate news website article was the best we have right now on limited time.
