Sharon Woods Metro Park, 6911 Cleveland Avenue, Westerville. The parking for sledding is located just north of the main entrance and the gates will be open when there is enough snow to sled on.
Hilliard Community Center is located at 3800 Veterans Memorial Drive in Hilliard. There is a small hill past the playground and tennis courts. It is a good place to go if you have small children and want them to get their first sledding experience. There is ample parking, but you might have to walk just a little bit to get to the hill.
Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park is in Galloway located at 1775 Darby Creek Drive. This is a larger hill and can be very bumpy at times. It is great if you have elementary aged children or if you are willing to go down with a younger child. There is a walkway next to the hill and parking is nearby. If you go during the middle of the day, be prepared for larger crowds.
Scioto Park is located in Dublin at 7377 Riverside Drive. There is a designated sledding area that has a stepper hill for older kids and a bunny hill for kids who prefer something a little less challenging. It can get crowded during the day, but this is a safer place to go since there is a designated walkway and nearby parking.
