I lived on Vale Crest road by Kentley. I went to Robbinsdale senior high and Sandburg jr high.
We had a hill on the other side of the creek we called Johnson’s hill that was steep. Our goal was to slide down then shoot across the frozen creek.... wheee!
There was another hill 3 doors away that was call Johnston’s hill and it was popular until the neighbor next door put up a fence. Mean ol neighbor.
I am thinking of the hill at the end of Upton on the south side of the creek. They call it Basset Creek Park these days. has a play ground down in a low area with the creek on the other side of the train tracks. You could see Glennwood (the water company and the road) on the other side of the creek.
