Tony Hawk's Games Wiki

Philadelphia is a Level that first appeared in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It is the seventh Level of Career Mode in that game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X In TH2 Career and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 in THPS2 Skate Tour.

It appears as the twelfth Classic Mode Level in Tony Hawk's Underground 2.

Philadelphia is one of the main settings of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, except the Level was expanded into an open-world setting with separated districts.

Layout[]

The whole FDR Skatepark may be considered a secret area since it's locked by default. The other remarkable subject is the ability to drain water in the fountain in the middle of Love Park.

Multiplayer layoutTHPS2[]

The fountain has already been drained, and the skatepark is inaccessible.

Origin[]

The level itself is a transition of 2 famous skate spots located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - FDR Skatepark and JFK Plaza, a.k.a. Love Park (including Fairmount Park Welcome Center).

Trivia[]

  • The L-O-V-E letters of the Love sculpture are replaced with T-H-P-S (T-H-2-X in THPS2X and T-H-P-G in THPG).
  • There is a bus roaming around the district. It allows player to perform a Bus Plant.
  • The train in the background doesn't really move, it is simply a scrolling texture on a static model. In THPS2x & THUG2 however, the train sports the Treyarch logo.
  • This is the only level in THUG2's classic mode where female pedestrians can get knocked down as opposed to knocking the player off his board.
  • In THUG2's classic mode, it is possible to access the skatepark by using Sticker Slap against the steel fence, without needing to grind the wire to destroy it. The same thing can be done to exit the area.
  • The level thumbnail in THPS2 beta presented Philadelphia City Hall, however it was never used in the level for the finalized release.
  • The rails in the Skatepark are grey and have a metal grinding sound in Pro Skater 2 and 2X, but are yellow with a wooden sound in Underground 2.
  • Philadelphia is one of three levels that were planned to be included in Tony Hawk's Underground (along with School and Downhill Jam), but weren't included in the final game; however, level data can be found in the game files.
