The Best Sledding Hills in Indy

The Best Sledding Hills in Indy

With several inches of snow on the ground and more coming this weekend, you may be on the lookout for a great place to go sledding. Here are some of the best in the Indy area.
 

Paul Ruster Park

11300 E. Prospect St., Indianapolis

Located just off the parking lot, the hill at Paul Ruster Park is long and not too steep—perfect for sledding. There’s plenty of room and no dangerous trees—perhaps the best sledding location in the metro area.
 

Ft. Harrison State Park

6000 N. Post Road, Indianapolis

Since this is a state park, there is an admission fee, but the sledding hill here is one of the largest in the city so it’s worth it. Cross country skiing is another popular winter sport in the park.
 

Koteewi Run Seasonal Slopes

11800 Koteewi Dr., Noblesville

Part of Hamilton County’s Strawtown Koteewi Park development, Koteewi Run is actually a tubing run, not a sledding hill. There’s a fee (starting at $20). Tubes are supplied, so this is a good option if you don’t have a sled, and there’s a tow line so you don’t have to walk to the top.
 

Simon Moon Park

2710 E 171st St., Westfield

There are two designated sledding areas on one hill: the east slope and the south slope.
 

Rhodius Park

1001 S. Belmont Ave., Indianapolis

The hill is in the southwest corner of the park and is on the list of approved sledding sites from Indy Parks and Recreation.
 

Hummel Park

1500 S. Center St., Plainfield

The sledding hill is situated near the parking lot, so it’s easy to warm up in your car between runs.
 

Southeastway Park

5624 South Carroll Road, New Palestine

The tree line at the top of the hill makes things a little crowded, but the sledding is good so it’s worth the extra wait time
 

Freedom Park

850 Stop 18 Road, Greenwood

The biggest perk at Freedom Park in Greenwood is the stairs that get you to the top of the sledding hill.
 
If you have small children, you need small hills and smaller crowds. Consider these two parks for the little ones:
 
 

Ellenberger Park

5301 St. Clair, Indianapolis

Multiple small slopes allow sledding enthusiasts to spread out.
 

Holliday Park

6363 Spring Mill Rd., Indianapolis

The slopes at Holliday Park are near the Nature Center. Like Ellenberger Park, it has multiple small hills suitable for sledding with small children.
