"A prominent stadium that doubles as a winter recreation spot for sledding, offering an unexpected family-friendly outdoor activity in the city." - Lauren Dana Ellman

Great spot for all ages to enjoy sledding (when there is enough snow).
Raised edges help keep sledders in bounds. Thrill seekers can enjoy jumps built by others, or create their own.
Accessible path makes it easy to get back up.
Accessible from Metra Electric, 146 bus, and often there is free lot parking nearby.

I gave this city sledding hill four star because it is right in heart of city and plenty of free parking (as of when we went). There is clear signage as to where to park for the sledding hill. It’s not super big and in fact if it was on a weekend, I imagine it would be too crowded for any real fun. The other issue that comes up is people with no clue as to sledding rules. Parents allowing little little kids to walk up the middle of hill. Parents standing in middle of hill taking pictures not aware of people sledding down. It’s common sense. Walk up the sides of the hill and pay attention. It is a perfect spot mid week mid day, for city sledding, but you may want to think twice on weekends or school holidays.

I think this hill is about 33ft high for those looking for running hills. Free parking open in winter for sledding.
