Big Run is SW Columbus has a great hill. It used to be a derby hill.
It is pretty far back in the park.
The only problem I could see with Big Run is getting back up the hill because you will go a LONG WAY.

I grew up sledding at the spot on the Scioto river @ fishinger/riverside dr in Arlington
They put bails of hay up so you don't Sunny Bono on a tree or sled into the river lol
Kids build snow ramps too, nothing like catching air on a plastic saucer :-DPosted 2 years ago # -

anyone go sledding today?Our kids wanted to, but you can still see the top of the grass here on the northwest side. That didn't stop a few folks from making mud tracks down Wilson Bridge hill.
I just looked at the 10-day forecast -- looks like we're going to be pretty light on snow for January.

+1 to Big Run and Darby Creek. I recall the hill at Gantz Park in Grove City being nice as well.

We went over to Clinton Como this morning. Sledding was a bit frustrating because the snow was so light. My uncle sent pictures from his foot+ of snow in Cleveland and my daughter is totally jealous.Watch out in that park, there's a good chance the new gas line will go through there (it's that or the research wetlands) and they'll need to close off and disturb a big area. They'll need a "layout area" where they weld together sections of pipe before boring them under the river.
The property manager from parks and rec was at that recent meeting, complaining that anytime a project disturbs a park like this, it's never fully restored. So I suggest you take some Before pictures now.

MetroParks does daily updates on what hills are open.
Here's their one from today:
Sledding hills are open at Battelle Darby Creek, Blacklick Woods Golf Courses and Highbanks. The kiddie's hill at Blendon Woods is also open. Please note that the sledding hill at Sharon Woods is closed. You can cross-country ski at all the parks, except Inniswood and Sharon Woods.Posted 4 months ago # -

There is a dare-devil type run in the small forested area just east of Calumet Christian School. This is a no-holds-barred type of hill. Make sure you bail before the creek at the bottom, you will probably want to bail well before you get to the creek anyway.

Great spot.*G* I was talking to the city horticulturalist about removing honeysuckle from that park, and she was only half-joking when she said that they leave it in place at the foot of the sledding hill to serve as a barrier keeping people from going down the bank to the floodplain.
