Membership is affordable (under $500 a year no initiation fee, clinics about ~$50 drop in with 8 pack discount). Personal coaching is available but I have found that even in clinics coaches will pay attention to everyone's game. Regarding reviews that say they're not responsive - this is a non-profit and front desk is occasionally understaffed. You should check what the membership prices are at full service country clubs featuring "racquet sports". This is the place for serious tennis. Instruction is better here, much cheaper, and you're more likely to play younger/fitter opponents. Find the clinic schedule online and show up in person, I have never been turned away. Highly recommend 10/10.

Home to the oldest ice skating club in the US, this is a single sheet of ice, dedicated to figure…read moreskating. No hockey here - no lines drawn or boards to protect the spectators. Interesting to step on/off from almost any place, watch your step and heard of at least one skater missing the side and crashing (the ice closest to the edge is sloped down, so can't get too close). It's old and classic, I think is the term. Skylights over the ice, men and girls/women's locker rooms. The bathroom is.. let's say old. The fixtures updated but could use some air freshener. Ice is brown, old and layered. Small food stall, and free wifi w/ password. They held the last NQS 2022 competition for regionals Sep 21-24 this year, and due to the overwhelming interest, they had to move all intermediate level skaters to Delaware, which left some pretty terrible schedules for the coach. A single sheet also meant practice ice was ungodly early (6:30a for us skating after 12pm), so that was disappointing. They did, however, leave plenty of time for ice cuts and everything wrapped early, leaving all the times accurate for start times. And the guy on the Zamboni (quite possibly the newest thing there other than a nice ballet room), was very good - slow, plenty of water, and had a person out there filling in holes in the ice. That was done more properly than most rinks I've seen at competitions where the ice gets rather holey. Hopefully they'll be better prepared next year for competition. No medal ceremonies, they wait on the final score sheet and hand out the medals. No podium for photos. Nothing fancy here, just classic, no credentials, no charge for spectators, either, which was nice.

Underneath has some pretend items for smaller kids to play in. Multiple slides including one enclosed 2 story slide that is a favorite of ours. 2 additional stand-alone slides, a geodesic dome, swings... plenty of things for everyone to play on! There is also a couple of baseball fields that are catty-corner to one another with some grass in between. There are two tennis courts that are in really great shape and two basketball courts that are usually open. The park is adjacent to the Haverford College nature trail which is a nice way to extend a park visit or change up the walk to and from the park. Parking is a bit of a pain in the butt, only street parking however it is worth the hassle.

Cruising by Temple University (complete with marching band and cheerleaders), the Philadelphia Orchestra (complete with tuba players and timpani) and city hall (with hundreds of locals cheering you on) is an absolutely delightful way to experience the city. I had so much fun and can't wait to do it again next year! The course itself is a dream--slightly downhill with almost no turns the entire route. Many personal bests to be achieved here! The crowd support is also amazing. I was shocked at how many people are out there supporting. This year was an absolute downpour yet there were still thousands of friendly supporters almost the entire route. Logistically the race went smoothly. It's very easy to pop on the septa and get to the starting line. Be prepared for a crowded ride, but it's a good natured crowdedness nonetheless. Got on the subway an hour and a half before start time and arrived about an hour early. Didn't experience lines for bathrooms or gear check. Really high energy before the start. I picked a corral that was on the slower side and was passing a ton of people throughout the entire race. I thought this was kind of cool because I felt speedy but for those who want a less crowded experience don't be afraid to estimate your time as a little on the faster side. One negative was the gear check pickup. Definitely a logistical struggle here, I waited about half an hour for my bag but I heard of people waiting over an hour. Consider leaving the gear at home unless really needed. I LOVED how close the end was to the septa station--was back home super fast (thank goodness, because as I mentioned, total downpour)!
