Quotation marks mean the agency's exact words. Lights, shelters, restrooms and children's slopes show only where the agency says so, so a missing one means not stated, not no. "Cost not stated" means the agency doesn't say what sledding costs. Read how we check listings.

Head for the West Park. The park district says its sledding hill is in the West Park, so use that part of the park as your destination when you set out. It describes the hill as steep, with lots of room for multiple launches for races or stunt competitions.
That room is useful, but a steep hill with many riders needs simple ground rules. Agree on lanes before anyone goes, have riders walk back up along the edge, and keep small children starting low on the slope while they get a feel for the speed. A helmet is a sensible choice on any fast run.
We don't report whether the hill is open on a given day, so check the agency link on the card before you go, and wait for enough snow to cover the ground well.

Think about helmets. Many families use a ski or bike helmet for sledding. Check that it fits and follow the helmet maker's guidance.
Ride sitting up, facing downhill. Going head-first puts your head in front. Follow your sled's own instructions for riding and steering.
Look at the bottom first. Look for a long, flat, open area at the bottom, away from trees, roads, fences, parking lots and water.
After dark, use a lit hill. The cards show which hills the agency lists as lit.
Walk up the side. Summit Metro Parks asks sledders to "walk up the side of sled hills, not in the center" (Summit Metro Parks). It's a good habit anywhere.
Take turns. Wait until the run below you is clear, and keep little kids close.
