  • McCoy Park (Independence) – 24 Highway
  • Hill across from Lea McKeighan Park (Lee’s Summit, MO) – 120 NE Chipman
  • 119th & Kansas City Road (Olathe, KS)
  • 137th and BlackBob (Olathe, KS) – just south of Lowe’s
  • I-435 between Antioch and Metcalf (Overland Park, KS) by Cleveland Chiropractic College (formerly the Farmer’s Insurance building) – get there via College Blvd.
  • Grace Church (Overland Park, KS) – 159th & Antioch
  • Wyandotte County Lake Park (Kansas City, KS)
  • Stump Park (Shawnee, KS) – 47th & Woodland
  • “the hill behind the Leawood Pioneer Library at 119th and Roe.  Frowned upon… but hilarious fun!”
  • Pleasant Valley Church in Liberty has a couple of great hills. They are located at 35 & 291 hwy off the outer road.

NOTE: Not all of these locations – though popular – are public property. It is always a good idea to seek permission before sledding on private property. Be careful and watch out for your kids! Sledding is super fun but can certainly be a bit dangerous.

Where are YOUR favorite sledding hills?
