16 Interactive Playspaces Being Built Across Philadelphia Over Next Year

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some children in Philadelphia will soon have a new place to play. Sixteen new playspaces -- like a kid-sized traffic park -- are going to be built across the city over the next year.

The goal is to give children interactive places where they can play and learn at the same time.
