Time to get some exercise via sledding and snowball fights! Found this list on the Arlington Insider web page and I’ll let you know if I find any other good hills in Arlington for sledding! I’ve left out some repeat locations from the original list:
Columbia Commons: in the back of building 5100, kids enjoy going down the hill. It’s a nice hill located at 5100 South 8th Rd. in Arlington, VA.
- Edna
Jamestown School: My kid’s favorite sledding spot is the long hill behind Jamestown School. We have also sledded on the steep hill behing McKinley School (we call it killer hill), and the Reed school slopes.
- William
Tuckahoe Park: The field next to the park and the school. Place your sled at the top of the hill , next to Sycamore street and sled down onto the field.
- Sandra
Lubber Run Park: the paved trail that leads from the top of the amphitheatre down to the stream bank. Moderately steep, fairly long run and the stream at the bottom of the run make for excitement.
- Ritch
Nottingham Elementary: wicked fast and fun.
- Kevin
Hayes Street Hill: Back in the day, in south Arlington, down the Hayes St. hill, from Fort Scott Drive to 26th Street, or maybe beyond to 25th street, and – if the snow was especially fast – all the way to 24th Street. An absolutely amazing hill, enthralling if you will, without exaggeration. And the physical nature of the Hayes hill street itself, as well as other streets intersecting or adjoining the street have not changed significantly..
- Douglas
Glencarlyn Park: There’s a hill in Glencarlyn park we all sled down on and have for the last 40 years. We pack it down, bank it and then have a ball going down it.
- Lynn
Ashlawn Elementary: Our favorite sledding hill is the park behind Ashlawn Elementary. Great hill in all snow conditions..
- Daniel
Reed School Hill
- Bill
HB Woodlawn : is hot for sledding, with the perfecting landing of a big soccer field.
- Robert
Update: So I ended up google mapping all of these locations and man was that a chore! Since I live right near the Ballston metro my friend and I decided to walk around the neighborhood and scout around to see if we can find another sledding hill than the ones listed here. A random person saw us with the sled and told us to go to 17th and Utah street, in the neighborhood called Waverly Hills.
We trekked over several blocks and found the street, a perfect unplowed, hilly street to sled on with few people to compete with for slope time! After many runs and freezing butt, I must say I was satisfied and got my exercise in full of walking up the snowy hill and squealing down it =)
