Slipdown Mountain is a summit in Parker County, Texas. It is located just east of the Advance Community (near Poolville), and along with Slipdown Bluff is the highest point in Parker County. The "mountain" is beside Slip Down Road, and has a steep limestone cliff on the west side.
In the History of Parker County, Eunice Boley Harris mentions Slipdown Mountain in her article about the Advance Community:
"We also had a 'fun spot' near Advance called 'Slip Down Mountain.' Young and old alike met there for baseball, Easter egg hunts, wiener roasts, picnics, and 'dinner on the ground.'"
