The park on the 1400 block of Hancock Street just got a $1 million playground renovation.

"With these new improvements, Hancock Playground is now a space where children and families can safely play and recreate," said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.

Money from the city's sugary drink tax helped pay for the repairs.
