Someone mentioned a new water park for kids (not the West Philly pool) on 48th. I forget what intersection, but I think it is one of the streets just south of Baltimore. Can anyone confirm the address or does anyone know anything about it?

It's about a block south of Woodland, I believe. It's called a "sprayground."

Yes its one of those new spraygrounds in the Woodland Rec Center at 48th and Woodland near Gray's Ferry and the Grey's Ferry Bridge. Its more than a couple blocks south of Baltimore.

This morning I walked out and saw a street-cleaner truck sitting on the corner of 49th and Springfield and spraying water in the air, and I thought, "Oh, maybe that's it"...pesky cynicism gets the better of me.

I live on the corner immediately south of Baltimore and 48th, that being the intersection of 48th and Beaumont--so unless some kids hijacked one of my neighbors' hoses, I can tell you it's not there
