The Hill is a project shaped by the people who use it. There are exposed roots. It’s a space to remind you you’re alive, you have lungs, and you bleed. In a world heavy with stress and surface, show bare F.A.C.E.

The lower section of The Hill is slowly being shaped with accessibility in mind. We’re working hard to make it safer and more accessible for children, seniors, and anyone who needs a steadier path. Please reach out if you can help us improve accessibility.

The Hill is free. It is simply a hill, sitting here. If you are local and would like to use it or if you are visiting and would like to see it. If you utilize The Hill, consider donating to support and improve it for yourself and others. Keep it afloat. Visitors are encouraged to donate, but it is by no means mandatory. The Hill exists and evolves as an interactive greenspace for public benefit.
