15 Awesome Sledding Hills in Chicago

January 5, 2018

Baby, it's cold outside. It doesn't look like last week's snow will be melting anytime soon, plus there is more snow in the forecast, so grab your sled and hit the hills! Enjoy the snow at one of these great sledding hills in Chicago. But be sure to bundle up! 

  • Soldier Field's Sledding Hill (425 E. McFetridge Dr., hill is southeast of the field) - A snow-making machine keeps it snowy all winter long.
  • Cricket Hill at Montrose Harbor (east of Lake Shore Dr.) - not designated by the city for sledding, but has been used that way for years.
