Sledding Hills of the Cleveland Metroparks
Cuyahoga County is home to some of the best sledding hills in Northeastern Ohio. Fortunately the area has received its fair amount of snow this winter. What better time than now to hit the sledding slopes?
Barrett Road Sledding Hill is a favorite among locals. Located just North of Falls Lane in Berea on Valley Parkway, this steep incline is ideal for making racing memories with your friends and family!
Another favorite is the Big Met Golf Course Sledding Area. The best sled riding slopes are at Tee #11. There are fireplaces nearby, so you can warm up quickly after spending time in the cold!

Little Met Golf Course Sledding Area has two small hills for sled riding at Tees #5 and #6. This gradual slope is more suitable for smaller children who may be frightened by sledding too quickly down taller slopes.
Another gradual slope is located at the Mastick Woods Golf Course Sledding Area, specifically at Tee #9. Again, this is more suitable for smaller children who are experiencing sledding for the first few times.
Memphis Back Shelter Sledding Area is another favorite of the local community. It is also part of the Cleveland Metroparks and provides an enjoyable adventure for everyone!

Sleepy Hollow Golf Course Sledding Area is complete unrelated to Washington Irving’s fictional tale. Instead of haunted woods and a headless horseman, riders will encounter a new favorite location for sled riding!
Sulphur Springs/Miles Road Sledding hill has limited parking in a small lot. Riders frequently pull onto the roadside for parking while they spend the rest of the day sledding.
