The only National Park in New England is Acadia. And there are no cities up that way!

I was saying that was the reason it wasn’t the answer.

Boston Mills is in the Cuyahoga Valley Park system which is a national park. There are hiking trails right there, one of which I’ve walked, which is Blue Hen Falls. No sports fields at its base that I recall seeing.

Blue Hen Falls!

Thanks, but I can’t take the credit for the pic! Gotta thank Google search. That is how the waterfall looks at the base by the little brook.

I’m guessing he’s referring to units within the National Park Service, including NHS, NS, NM, NRA, etc.  I think we can rule out Roger Williams (smallest in the NPS system) and Boston Harbor Islands, which leaves a bunch including Marsh Billings Rockefeller, Cape Cod, Saugus Ironworks, Springfield Armory, Saint Gaudens, Minute Man (not to be confused with Minuteman in SD), Salem Maritime (in a city, no hill) New Bedford Whaling (on the side of a hill, in a city, but no ballfields)  I could go on and on with the various units.  I don’t see any lost ski areas “surrounded” by any of these units, (Mt. Tom borders Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller but is not “surrounded” by NPS land)  and the Kennedys didn’t run any rope tows in Brookline…So…..I think we’re chasing a rabbit down a hole here.

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“NewEnglandSkier13”>I was saying that was the reason it wasn’t the answer.</blockquote>I will repeat myself in saying that it is NOT in a national park or similar land. What I was saying was there reason that Boston Mills was not the answer.

I’ve been to Blue Hen Falls as well as Brandywine Falls which is also in the park.

Kind of confusing with a lot of disinformation.  Not even sure what the 3 clues are any more.  Perhaps someone could summarize where we are.

IBRAKEFORTBARS

Very nice photo of Brandywine Falls!

rickbolger

OK I thought that was a further clue.  As such I was looking for a rural area within city limits, complete with a national park service unit and a ball field.  Rascally rabbit!   ;))

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“joshua_segal”>Kind of confusing with a lot of disinformation.  Not even sure what the 3 clues are any more.  Perhaps someone could summarize where we are.</blockquote>Fair enough:

Within city limits
Now has sports fields at the base
Walking path built by WPA

• in New England • not near any national park or Department of the Interior property

And did we determine if it is in business or NELSAP?

how abut  Arthur L. Delaney Ski Slope in Melrose

<blockquote class=“Quote” rel=“rickbolger”>how abut  Arthur L. Delaney Ski Slope in Melrose</blockquote>Nope, but it is NELSAP.

<font face=“Arial, Verdana”>How about Mt. Megunticook, </font>Camden, Maine.

Not sure if Camden qualifies as a city

It does have a CCC/WPA hiking trail

It had Alpine trails, but not clear if it ever had a lift.  It is not on NELSAP.

NewEnglandSkier13

Nope, this one is listed on NELSAP.
