Erik RowleyJuly 16, 2016The heart of the University of Iowa campus. A beautiful park centered around the historic Old Capitol (Iowa's 1st Capitol). I walked through all the time between classes, miss U of I!
Kristen McCannDecember 5, 2011Good place to sit outside and study on a nice day or go even go sledding on the hill during a snow day.Always easy to find somewhere to sit and study. Good place to people watch as well!
Michelle AnnDecember 6, 2011Everyone needs a day to relax and hang out with some friends. On the Pentacrest you can see everything that is going on downtown and still capture the peace and quiet that you desire.
Cassandra EscobarDecember 6, 2011The Pentacrest is one of my favorites places. During the warm and nice days it is perfect to take your blanket and study or have a picnic with your friends.- 4/5 Dentists recommend and hour of Sunlight surrounded by nature. Plenty of that on the top of the hill!

"Everytime I go there is very calm (at night)! I can do my exercises in my own rythm without the pressure of others. Very complete. Try the smoothies, they are very tasty!"
