Metro Parks of Lousville recommends the best sledding hills in the city

With 6-8 inches of snow forecasted, this constitutes a veritable blizzard for Louisville. And lots of snow means one thing for kids...sledding!  Check out Metro Parks' recommendations for the best (and safest) hills for sledding in the Louisville area.

 

Sledding is fun...but not so much when someone gets hurts.  Sending a small child down a huge hill at speeds of over 100 miles per hour conjures up images of Chevy Chase in "Christmas Vacation". This is why parents are often  understandably nervous about letting their kids go sledding without making sure the conditions are safe.

Race ya to the sledding hill!

Enjoy your snow day on this Crescent Hill, uh, hill.

Remember when we used to enjoy snow days? I sure do, especially as I stare at my computer screen. During snow days in Ohio, where I'm from, we'd race to the nearest sledding hill, trying to be the first to shred down it. As of my morning commute, nobody had deflowered Crescent Hill's best hill, which slopes from Barret Traditional Middle School down to Galt Avenue. Who's going to be first?

Also, here are the five best sleds, in order: 

1. Red Ryder wooden sled

2. Inner tube

3. Plastic sled
