I recently asked grkids.com friends to tell me where they like to sled and what ages the hills are suited for...here's what I've found so far: (and please tell us where YOU like to sled in the comments!)

Lisa told us that Cascade Park and Ada Vista Elementary School are both good for older kids(middle school, high school) and younger kids(elementary.)

Lori says there is a huge hill at Manhattan Park in EGR for older kids (You have to walk through the woods from the parking lot off Manhattan) but there is a smaller hill for the little kids facing Cascade Road. It's just north of the woods by the soccer fields.

According to Melinda and Terra, in Byron Center the kids (all ages) usually go up to Byron Center Christian School (middle school) off Byron Center Rd, as well as Zion Christian School (corner of Byron Center/76th Street).

Marita has a wealth of sledding information: "Growing up, my family did a lot of sledding at Belknap Hill (Mary Waters Park) on the corner of Lafayette and Leonard at the Elementary School at that corner (A great hill for kids of all ages). We also went to the hills at Manhatten Park off of Cascade just west of the E. Beltline, and Provin Trails just west of Robinette's on 3 Mile off the E. Beltline. At Provin Trails, you have to walk down the trail just a bit to get to some good hills -- but I would recommend this place for older kids who can control their sleds a little better because there are trees to dodge at the end. It's a beautiful place though! We also went to Johnson Park -- it's a good hill for little kids to have riding buddies because it's a pretty good size hill. We'd meet our older cousins when we'd sled there so everyone would have a sled partner. It was a riot!"

If you don't mind driving to your sledding hill, then you might want to follow Soraida's lead.  Here's what she has to say, "We really like Pando, it's out in Rockford. It's a bit pricey but the entertainment book has a coupon for buy one get one. The hills are really steep, the boys had a blast going down over and over again. The other thing we liked about it is that you didn't have to walk up the hill to sled, you are pulled up on your tubes."

If you like adventure then Kristie's recommendation may suit you, "Belknap Lookout has an amazing hill, some parts the neighborhood kids have built ramps too! (we saw a group of 6 fly on an air mattress 10 feet in the air and about 4 feet high, 15 feet after landing 4 kiddos fell off, the teenagers stayed on it. We all had a good laugh.)"

Melissa says that "We take our kids to the Hudsonville water tower.  Our kids are 2,5 & 7 and it's not too big for them or too small."

Also mentioned for sledding is Mulick Park for all ages and Richmond Park for older kids.  Pine Ridge Elementary is another neighborhood spot mentioned as well.

Please share your favorite sledding spot in the comments...we'd love to check it out!
