SILVER SPRING, MD –As the area prepares for a big winter storm, Montgomery Parks is sharing its list of best sledding hills in parks for kids and adults to enjoy. You’re never too old for sledding!
Approved locations for sledding in Montgomery Parks include:

“It’s time to get the sleds out of storage and break out the cold-weather gear! We want everyone to be safe out there while they’re having fun, so please use caution when you’re sledding because the snow can hide rocks and other hazards,” said Miti Figueredo, director of Montgomery Parks.
