Bounded by Grand, Rodney, and South 1st Streets, this playground is the northernmost of three playgrounds, Rodney Playground Center and Rodney Playground South 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).
