Bounded by Rodney, South 3rd, and South 4th Streets, this playground is the southernmost of three parks, Rodney Playground Center and Rodney Playground North being the other two, which take their names from Rodney Street. As a matter of fact, three other parklands along the thoroughfare are also named in this manner: Rodney Park North, Rodney Park Center, and Rodney Park South. Rodney Street, in turn, honors American patriot and statesman, Caesar Rodney (1728-1784).
