    Great park for anyone looking to sharpen their vert skateboarding or bmx skills, all though it…read morelacks flat ground there is still a lot to do here.

    Maple shade skate park stands in the shade of nothing there is no shade here so know that going in…read moreall the maples are over to the left satellite photos indicated it would be huge and awesome upon arrival it is way smaller than pictured and way less awesome there's plenty to do here though there are 2.5' ledges there is a teeny tiny pyramid there is a staircase/step up thing, banks, vert walls, Jerome and the deep side there's a whole other deep side that's like super Verty and super fast concretes pretty good it's not great but it's fine it's about the same as Frederick as far as jankyness goes. There is nothing to do here for a beginner except maybe play with this tiny pyramid and try to learn how to skate transition, The shallow concrete is pretty Jenky it's far jankier than the deep end and the jankyness slows you down a lot, so keep that in mind. The roll in just throws you into the wall unless you go in sideways like a surfer or something and it's pretty sketch doing that, I'd say it's great for round wall and vert riders the vert side is just barely 8' so it's a great entry point for the vert curious to get your feet wet, bring softer wheels as the rough pavement isn't letting you slide out super easy which is a plus for some and a minus for others.

    Whenever I'm in Philly, my running route is from Queen Village to the Schuylkill River Park. I…read morealways break stride of my elite 9 minute mile pace, pause the Watch the Throne album blasting in my ears, and walk through this park. It is a great moment to just take in the peaceful energy. I love this place and parks like it in general. Everyone is just out enjoying life: Kids playing basketball, friends having picnics, people playing tennis, others reading a book or taking a calm walk with their airpods in, dogs running around the dog park while their owners watch from the sidelines, etc. The kids playing basketball always gets me a little emotional because that used to be me and my friends before the responsibilities of adulthood caused my cortisol levels to go through the roof. All we cared about was playing basketball and having fun. It's like a little time portal to the past. The FMC tower watches over the park, reflecting the sky. I always get fascinated with buildings like this and it makes me appreciate human beings. Like we just built that thing no problem. Wild. I can't close out this review without shouting out running. I could be spiraling into the abyss of negative thoughts and force myself to go for a run, and it completely alters my brain chemistry. I feel like I can do anything after a run. It has done more for me than any drug ever could. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    I love walking along the Schuylkill River trail. It's nice to take a leisurely stroll up and down…read morethe path, especially on a nice day. It's a great opportunity to people watch as well. There are many stops along the path to sit at a bench, but I generally enjoy a continuous walk.
