Where to Sled in Richmond http://richmondmom.com/2014/02/11/where-to-sled-in-richmond/ http://richmondmom.com/2014/02/11/where-to-sled-in-richmond/#comments Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:18:35 +0000 http://richmondmom.com/?p=55452 sleddingSnow (again) in Richmond.

It’s a (sometimes) rare chance to grab that sled and hit the “slopes”  We’ve made a list of some great places to sled around town when school is out (because it will be).

Please note that parks close at dark and it’s prohibited to sled on something weird like a sheet of metal- use a proper sled.  And, of course, please stay safe.

Have something you’d like to add to this list or want to make a note of something?  Comment below or send an email to Sarah@Richmondmom.com and we’ll get added (or a note made) nice and quick.

 

 

Forest Hill Park  This one is a Richmond Favorite.  In fact, I’m pretty sure that Forest Hill should be re-named “Sledding Hill” or “oh my gosh it snowed in Richmond Hill” or “At Least They’ll Sleep Tonight Hill” or “Hi, Mom, I’m on TV Hill” since it’s usually in the local news.

But wait there is more!! You can also go sledding at these places in the Richmond area:

Bryan Park 4308 Hermitage Rd., Richmond, VA

The entrance to the park is located near the I-95 interchange in the 4300 block of Hermitage Road

 

Byrd Middle School  9400 Quioccasin Rd, VA 23238

 

Chimborazo Park 3200 E. Broad St. , Richmond, VA

 

Enon Elementary School 2001 E Hundred Rd, Bermuda, VA 23836

 

Gambles Hill Park Please watch out for the street.

 

Libby Hill 2801 E Franklin St, Richmond, VA 23223 better for more experienced sledders (you know, pro sledding)

 

Maymont  2201 Shields Lake Ct, Richmond, VA 23220
