Where To Go Sledding in Colorado Springs

Out There Colorado has a good list of popular sledding areas here in Colorado Springs:

There aren’t any official sledding or tubing hills with a tow rope, but there are plenty of hills that are begging to be sledded on after a snowstorm.

The most popular might be Cottonwood Creek Park in northeast Colorado Springs. Located near Dublin Boulevard and Rangewood Drive, the park has wide, mild slopes that fill with kids after a storm.

Other good parks for sledding include Quail Lake Park on East Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard, Mountain Shadows Park on Flying W Ranch Road, Kathleen Marriage Park on Amberwood Lane and Broadmoor Bluffs Park on Farthing Drive.

Of course, there’s nothing that says you can only go sledding in a park. There are plenty of good hills around. If school isn’t in session, you can find sledding at Jenkins Middle School on Austin Bluffs Parkway, Timberview Middle School off Scarborough and Squirreltail drives, Trailblazer Elementary School on Wickes Road and Howbert Elementary School on North 31st Street.

In Manitou Springs, the hill behind Iron Springs Chateau is a popular spot. Farther up U.S. Highway 24 in Woodland Park, you can sled in Meadow Park. [Out There Colorado]
