Art Museum steps is always fun. But there are hills out back too.

Where do you live?

The Clark Park Bowl is great. The Art Museum may not be much fun with the new garage in the way.

thanks everyone.......fast responses!
where's the Clark Bowl?

**PhillyKev** · 02-05-2010, 03:01 PM

Lemon HIll is good.

The hill by the playground at 2601 condos is my old reliable since I can walk there.

Clark Park is good (42nd and Baltimore-ish) also. Trolley lines run right past it, so no need to drive.

The Clark Bowl is like 2' deep.

I think the best hill semi close to CC is in Overbrook, dubbed suicide hill. Take Callowhill till the dead in and go through the fence into the golf course. You will see the top of the hill. There is another decent one on the other side on Lansdowne (which turns into State Road in Upper Darby) Its like Whistler Blackomb compared to Clark Park.

Byrne Golf Course in the NE off of Grant Ave was a good spot in the 90s.

**OldMaestro** · 02-05-2010, 03:20 PM

Second for Byrne Golf course. And Austin Meehan.

Last snowstorm I saw people sledding near Chickies and Petes - I believe they were using the embankment abutting 95 as their sledding hill but my memory is fuzzy.

How about Burholme Park?

Now that it's "saved" from the cancer hospital expansion (they stopped the cancer from spreading?!), might as well use it more...?

Water tower rec center in Chestnut Hill, behind Jenks Elementary

Hubby used to take daughter and her friends when they were young. It was lots of fun, as I recall. It's also in the NE, so it is probably not convenient from S. Philadelphia.
