There are swingsets, baseball fields, soccer practice area, marble playing area, tennis courts and trails. The grass is cut so the park is kept up. I'll definitely be back but bring bug spray. We came right after it rained and the bugs were chomping on us.

Within a few minutes you are surrounded by trees and walking along Naylors Run stream. Similar to the trails in Fairmount Park in all but size, this trail is great for a short (apx a mile) head clearing walk in the midst of Upper Darby. Don't miss the amazing tutor house on the right as you walk in, the house and natural landscaping are worthy of a look!

I have spent time at a number of tennis academies throughout the country including a significant…read moreamount of time at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) in College Park, Maryland - a USTA training base. I can say, without a doubt, that High Performance Tennis Academy (HPTA) is by far one of the best academies in the Northeast United States. HPTA has programs for all ages and levels - kids, teenagers and adults. Their programming for kids is known as Junior Circuit and is under the Direction of Kellen Thomas, a former collegiate tennis player at Drexel University. At the Junior Circuit level, programming starts at age 4 and goes from red ball through green ball. The Academy program which is made up of four programs - Future Champs, Super Squad, High Performance Development and High Performance. The High Performance programming is under the direction of co- owner, Dylan Comerford. Dylan played collegiate tennis at Winthrop University, at the #1 position, and was top-250 in ITF Juniors. He's one of the most highly-respected coaches in the area and has sent 100+ kids to college for tennis with nearly $1 million in scholarships. This years graduating class included players going to a number of D1 and D3 schools including UPenn, Presbyterian, Emory, Vassar, Franklin & Marshall and many others. A number of players, who went on to become professional, have trained at HPTA in the past including CiCi Bellis (former WTA #35 and ITF Junior #1) and Anna Mamalat (former WTA #900 and Texas A&M tennis player). Anna is now a coach at HPTA! The adult program is primarily run by Rob Isaacs, (HPTA's co-owner), Julio Toledo (former top-20 junior player in Mexico) and Harvey Becker (former British National Champion and ATP #400). Their adult program ranges for programming for 4.5+ NTRP players, 3.0-3.5 players and beginner players. HPTA was founded in 2009 by a South African coach Charles Wheeler (he has since returned to his native country), who coached Kevin Anderson when he was a junior. When HPTA was first founded, the academy was based entirely out of AFC Riverside (Bala Cynwyd, PA). While they continue to have programming there, they have expanded to the nearby Cynwyd Club, Radnor Valley Country Club and hold their renowned summer camp at Haverford College. Altogether, HPTA is the best tennis academy in the Philadelphia-area and one of the best in the Northeastern US. Highly recommend for all ages and levels!

My family spent last summer in Philadelphia and I needed to find summer programs for my 13 year old…read moredaughter who was not at all eager to spend her summer away from home. I didn't know anything about Philadelphia or any of the programs for teens and I had to rely 100% on information I found on the internet. My daughter was an OK tennis player; she has taken tennis lessons at our local rec center over the years. But she is not a natural born athlete and she does not have experience in tournaments. Her goal was to make the tennis team at her high school in the fall. We signed up for the intermediate level camp. The first week she was probably the oldest one in her group--the younger boys were annoying--but she persisted and later there were older players in her group so she was able to make friends. Over the weeks that she participated in the program she worked very hard. She did not love every day of it, but both her game and her overall fitness level improved tremendously. She had a great sense of accomplishment when she finished. Although initially quite reluctant, in the end she was very happy that she had attended several weeks of the summer program, and she was able to make her goal of being on the tennis team in the fall. :) Other notes: My daughter liked the food they served. And Michelle was very kind and helpful. My daughter had a couple of private lessons with the owner, Charles. Initially I thought they were pretty expensive, but after seeing what she gained I came to believe they were well worth the expense. (In fact if he were here in California I would love to have her train with him weekly.)

The biggest thing that stands out…read moreto me each time I play is the lack of information given to the golfer on layout and direction of each hole. Many blind tee and fairway shots. No GPS, no mini pic of hole on score card, no Laminated sheet hanging on cart with the pics of each hole. Yardage book is available for purchase but really? Comes off as annoyingly cheap. Unless you play course frequently or play with someone who knows the course, you are in for a very long round. This is an easy fix Ron. Paying good bucks for these rounds. Also. Let's put the rakes back where they belong around the bunkers. Think like a golfer, not an owner.
