Review №1

I agree with the review from Elizabeth Balise. It was a great place to go sliding in the winter time and play in year round in the 1950s. Mom used to tell us to come home when the street lights came on. Solved that problem, never went to the top of the hill to see the street lights!! :-)

The best entrance has always been on Fountain Street. Large granite boulders used to mark the front. Theyre still there if you look for them. At one time, Fountain Street might have curved off into The Dingles Main Hill where there was actually a fountain, more a fresh water spring, lined with stone stairways on either side at the bottom. We drank from it many times when tired and thirsty from a long day of intense play. As kids in the 1950s, this place was sheer magic! Best sliding outside of Forest Park-- an absolute wonderland for feral kids. I would love to see this place restored to a park again. I used to imagine I would live there to protect it.

Its a old un-maintained quasi park. It has a small running stream at the bottom of a deep ravine. It has several walking paths throughout the park, and is great for hikers who want some exercise & dog lovers.
