Cannot say enough good things about this park. Was a great stopping point on a long car ride for…read morechildren. Huge playground with so many different play sets for them to burn some energy off, use the restroom, eat a snack and get back on the road. The material is soft, rubbery and bouncy - no scrapped knees. My pictures do not do justice of how big the park is (just big enough to want to chase a kid around).

I play basketball at Back Court Hoops if I'm visiting Scranton, PA. Back Court Hoops has nice and…read moremodern basketball courts. The gym has selected hours for open gym. It's usually $5 to shoot around in the gym. There are 3 full size basketball courts. The courts are clean and well maintained. The gym is never overcrowded.

MUST VISIT!! I'm on a work trip and decided to give this gym a try. Best decision ever. The owner…read morewas very welcoming and helped me feel comfortable in a town that is over 200 miles away from home. He was quick to help me with any questions I had and even took the time out to show me how to use different machines that I wasn't familiar with. Everyone in the gym was also super friendly (even first thing in the morning)! Get your GAINZ on with the variety of equipment provided, such as free weights(!!!), accessory and cardio machines. They had everything I needed to get an amazing sweat session in so you'll most likely find everything that you need here as well!

Some equipment is a little dated, but this gym is what you need. They appeared to have an active fitness culture and a few competitive weightlifters too. The owner is a great guy and was gruff, but very pleasant. (about what I'd expect at 7am on a Sunday which is when I was there.)

It also lacks adequate public transportation to the location on weekend and late night hours.

Perched on a hill, Schiller Park has multiple levels- the lowest ground is where the soccer fields…read moreand a big parking lot are, with a narrow paved footpath around the parameter. Going uphill there is a good sized playground, tennis courts, and basketball courts (admittedly often overgrown). From the playground to the courts the park road is blocked to vehicle traffic. On the upper area is an outdoor community pool, a parking lot, and an outdoor gym set up. Then there's also blocked off lower and upper roads encircling a hill and a small field, which look so quaint I always picture Bilbo Baggins living there. The views of the city the pool area and the top field are magnificent, and benches invite you to stay for a while to enjoy it (or maybe catch your breath from walking there). Schiller has two access points to park by car (Farmer St- lower, Oak St- upper) and plenty of access by foot. I've spent many many visits exploring the different paths of Schiller. It's a park which feels very much at the center of it's community, a touch rough on some edges, but very beautiful.

Was looking for a park to have lunch and play with the kids. We drove to the entrance of the park…read more(near the pool) and drove around the upper parking lot. We wanted to go down by the play equipment, but the road is closed off the vehicles. We were able to leave the park and drive around the corner and park in a lower parking lot which is near the baseball diamond. There was one lone table near a building called the recreation center, and it was in a little gazebo. Kids enjoyed the play equipment. It must have been installed or upgraded very recently as it was very new 8/2015. There are two areas one for smaller kids 2-5 and one for larger kids 5-12. There is one small table in each of the kids areas which has a cover and provides shade during the hot summer months when kids are out playing.

I love the indoor running track and wish I had a similar option at home. This is a million times better than running on a treadmill! I've enjoyed it on rainy summer days as well as snowy winter mornings. The fitness center is also very nice and quite large. There is ample equipment and it is extremely clean. I like the Clorox (or Lysol) wipe stations available throughout the facility. There are plenty of mirrors for checking form when lifting and lots of cardio equipment options. Additionally, I enjoyed the large glass windows when I used the treadmill one winter morning. The view is spectacular! The fitness center and running track are the only options I've taken advantage of when in town; however, the class schedule and rock climbing wall both look dynamite. I may give either or both a whirl when I return this summer. Lots of options are available so check it out online and day and weekly passes are available for purchase. The front desk staff are always helpful and pleasant. See you in the summer or on Instagram.
