The Largest Swing Set In America Is Coming To Famous Philadelphia Park

Author Nicole Michalik

How fun!  The largest swing set in America is coming to a famous Philadelphia park. Philadelphia is the birthday place of the nation so it makes sense for us to have history-making landmarks.  The playground will be located near the park’s new Welcome Center, that, organizers said, will “repurpose the park’s former guard house and stables, structures originally built in 1919” into an 8,000-square-foot Welcome Center with room for events — and 14 public bathrooms.

Remember the Philadelphia Flower Show was at FDR Park for two years in 2021 and 2022 because of Covid.  The park is really awesome, and I feel like not enough people know and use it.  The new playground promises treehouses, slides, and a massive “megaswing” that seats 20.  It’s also right near the Novacare complex and all the stadiums in South Philly so can you imagine if you’re having a good time on the swings and one of the Eagles or Phillies players stop by and take a seat next to you?

Guests who want to buy a ticket to the Playground Party fundraiser will be the first to enjoy the swings on Thursday, Aug. 24.

Luke Combs Setlist For Lincoln Financial Field

Luke Combs is heading to Philly at Lincoln Financial Field on July 28th and July 29th for his World Tour and bringing along some amazing country artists too!

Opening Acts

Friday night’s opening acts are the Turnpike Troubadours, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Brent Cobb. Saturday night’s opening acts are Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Flatland Calvary, and Brent Cobb. Wow, what a line up! Some of these artists will join Luke out on stage later in the show for a duet.

Second Show Added

XTU Nation, you know there’s nothing better than a country concert tailgate and now we get TWO nights of it! Initially, Luke Combs planned on only making one stop at Lincoln Financial Field for Saturday night, but he must know how much Philly loves him because just a few months ago, Combs added a second show! Philly country fans are PUMPED! Philly will be his last stop in the U.S.; after that, he’s off to New Zealand, Sweden, Ireland, and England!

He told Andie and Jeff all about it!

New Album

The tour is supporting his newest album, Gettin’ Old. You will recognize songs from the album on the tour such as Grownin’ Up & Gettin’ Old, Hannah Ford Road, Where The Wild Things Are, and of course, Fast Car.

Luke Combs Setlist

The country star only puts out hits. His music stretches from singing about an iced cold beer to marrying the girl of your dreams. In fact, a lot of couples now use his music as their first dance at their wedding. He even made our Top 24 Best First Dance Country Songs For Your Wedding for three of his songs! We’re sure many newlyweds are looking forward to hearing their wedding song live.

Check out Luke Comb’s 26-song setlist to prepare for the show. I bet your favorite song or even wedding song made the list!
