Directions: The sledding hill is in the back corner of Hyde Park. The park is located at 8th & Hyde Park Ave. Comments: At the bottom of the sledding hill there is a dip. There is usually enough room to stop after the dip, but if you continue sliding too fast, you could end up in the parking lot (where, of course, there is likely to be parked cars).

Directions: The sledding hill is at Shoal Creek Elementary School just north of hwy 152 & Flintlock. Turn north on Flintlock from hwy 152 (by the Target). The school is on the west side (left) of the road about 1/2 of a mile up the street. Turn into the third entrance near the football/baseball fields. Comments: The hill is steep and flattens off into the football field. A good hill for little kids & parents. It's just long enough to be really fun for about an hour.

Directions: The sledding hill is at William Jewell College. Comments: You can park at any of the numerous parking lots and walk up the hill or the easiest thing to do is park at the top of the hill. There are two trees at the bottom of the hill that can easily be steered away from and, by the time you get down there you're usually coming to a stop. The area is shaped like a bowl except for the bottom. The two sides are much more of a shallow grade but the middle is the steepest and best part!

Directions: The sledding hill is at Bourbon City Park. Take I-44 to the Bourbon exit (#218). Turn south towards the mobil station (I think its pine street) and follow that road to old route 66 (approx a couple hundred yards. Turn right onto old route 66 (west) and the park is about a mile or two down (theres plenty of signs). Comments: Great sledding spot for kids, lots of different hills, some faster hills for bigger kids and adults.

Directions: The sledding hill is at the Sullivan city lake. From St. Louis, take I-44 to EXIT 225, turn left and cross the over pass. Take the first right onto the south service road (its right in front of crackle barrel), go aprrox .05 miles turn left on hwy d (towards the hospital). Go approx .05 miles and make a right on SAPPINGTON BRIDGE RD (right in front of the hospital, make the next right hand turn past the hospital (I think its lake drive) you'll be able to see the lake at this point. The hill is on the back side, real easy to find.
Comments: Large hill (back side of the damn.) At the bottom it starts to level off and then goes into a wooded area so you'll want to drag your feet towards the bottom or you'll risk going into the woods. People usually build a ramp towards the bottom, ramp is not for the faint at heart, rarely are you able to stay on the sled after hitting it (but hey, its fun.) I'd probably leave this hill for older kids and adults. The hill is great for dare devils are somebody who likes to get speed.

street right next to I-435. Comments: It is steep, and not too bumpy, and it also has a natural jump that is about 3 feet high.

Directions: Sledding hill at Brookside Park. At 56th & Brookside is a popular sled riding hill called Suicide Hill. Pretty much, the park is the sledding hill. Tennis court on top, baseball diamond at the bottom. Comments: Best sledding hill in the Kansas City area. Ask anyone in Kansas City who grew up there about Suicide Hill and they will know where it is, and will probably have stories about it. Many inferior sleds met their end on that hill. A friend of mine used to gather up the discarded remains and repair them. I once watched a group of 5 girls on a very long tobaggon sled straight into the fire barrel at the bottom of the hill, screaming the whole way. Tobaggons don't steer and their combined weight carried them much farther than single or double sledders would go. Very fast hill, some parts can be bumpy. Different starting spots at the top give varying rides, from smooth and safe to daredevil and fast. It is always in use when a good snow comes. I've seen every kind of sled imaginable on that hill, from innertubes to car hoods. The hill doesn't look like much from the bottom, but from the top, it screams "Sled me!" Webmaster Note: A lot more Kansas City area sledding hills that were not posted to this site via the normal submittal form, but rather found elsewhere on the web have been posted on the sled riding forum Missouri section here. The same list was also posted under the Kansas section on the forum due to KC being between both states. If you find that any of the sledding hills located on that forum list have not previously been posted under the Missouri or Kansas state pages of this website, then please submit it along with all of the hills details via this for here. Thank you in advance.

Directions: This sledding hill is located on the left side of the Fox High School gym in the softball/baseball field. Fox High School is off of Jeffco Blvd. Comments: This is currently the best submitted sledding hill in Jefferson County and the local sledding hill of choice for this sites webmaster and his son when they don't want to drive to Art Hill or Blanchette Park. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review:  . The 4th star was added in 2009 from 3 stars because the locals build a snow ramp in the center of the hill. This makes the hill so much more fun (airtime!). So, if you get there before anyone else, construct the snow ramp. Everyone will thank you (including me)!
2009 WEBMASTER UPDATE: Yep, that's me in the first photo showing some major airtime on this fun hill! The first sizeable snow of the season brought my son and I back. We didn't feel like driving all of the way to Art Hill in central St. Louis County and we remembered that we had fun on this hill in the past, so it deserved another visit. I must say, we are glad that we did make this choice. When we arrived the hill was empty, but quickly filled up with about 20 sledders during our 2 hour visit (many, to my amazement, finding this hill through this website posting). To the left of the new goal (see below bold), midway up the hill, some sledders from before our visit had constructed a nice snow jump. Let me tell you, that made this hill SO MUCH MORE FUN! We had our big red/black snow tube (see review here) and the airtime made our day. Also, while sledding we had noticed a camerman coming up to the hill to take some photos. His name was Andrew Jensen and he was with the Jefferson County Suburban Journal. He found this hill on this website (what a small world). He definitely got the great snow photos that he was looking for this day (see 2nd pic above)! Since our last visit a few years ago, the school had placed a football goal in the center of the hill, but don't be discouraged, there is plenty of room to the left or right of it to have a lot of fun and sled safely. However, I do want to say that there were kids who were sledding down the hill through the center of the goal. This is a horrible accident waiting to happen. Please don't sled through or near the goal. The school should really consider padding the 2 posts. A few of the photos above reflects this addition. 2009 WEBMASTER NOTE: This is one of a few sledding hills that my son and I frequent on snow days, since it is so close to our home. If you see any of our "unique" sleds on Fox hill, then that's probably us. See them all by clicking here. Stop by and say "hi"! Also, we just added sled lights to some of our snow sleds for the 2009/2010 winter season, so if you go night sledding at Fox hill and see sleds or snow tubes with lights on them (very unique), then it may be a sure bet that's us having fun. |

Directions: This sledding hill is located behind the football field at Ridgewood Middle School in Arnold, Missouri. 1401 Ridgewood School Rd. This sledding hill is located in the woods on the far right side of the building, where the football field is at. There is a huge parking lot in front of the woods. There is this little bridge you have to walk over and underneath it is a creek. After you do that, immediately, there are two paths. You can take any path but I prefer the right path because it's quicker. As you are done walking the path, you'll see a little hill with a football field on it and if you go on the field, the big hill is on your left. See map picture here. Comments: Be careful when sled riding this hill because there are a lot of ditches and bumps. I practiced on this field for football and I just thought it would be a fun hill to sled on. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: I made a quick visit to this hill to take some pictures after the submittal. Overall I would give this hill  . Probably not a great hill for the little ones, but more so for the seasoned sledder. It doesn't look like much looking at it from below, but once you walk to the "upper right corner" of the wooded area and look down, only then does it look much more impressive. The pole in the photo seems to me to be the worst hazard and the fence below the pole out of the picture, since that could be a tempting sled run for some. The bleachers can be manuvered around and are a clear object to not sled towards. The best sled run would be well out of the way of the bleachers once the temporary lighting (see pic) for football season is moved out of the way. Sled here (and all hills) at YOUR OWN RISK! |

Directions: Sledding hill at Crystal
City Public Park off of Park Drive. Go to where the basketball courts are right behind
the pond (if you drive past the public swimming pool, then you will see
them). Coming from Herculaneum, take 61/67 south, make a left on 11th St., then make a left on Virginia Ave., then make a left on Park Dr. Take it until in loops around on Parkview Dr. and you'll see the courts on the right. Comments: There's plenty of parking. Start at the top of the hill by the courts. It's a steep slope and THERE IS A BIG BUMP AT THE BOTTOM. There's an old fountain at the end of this hill which is sometimes filled with a few inches of water/ice. This actually makes this hill perfect, but for those taking young kids please be careful. I'd definitely rate this hill FIVE STARS for ages 13 and up, and FOUR STARS for young kids due to the bump at the bottom. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: I made a quick visit to this hill a day before a big snow was scheduled to hit to take some pictures. Based soley on the water hazard at the bottom of the hill, I am personally going to rate this sledding hill  . If it weren't for the water/fountain hazard at the bottom, I think this hill would warrant a 3 star rating.

Directions: Sled riding hill at Blanchette Park's Bum Hollow (1900 W. Randloph St.) at the rear of the park. Comments: None Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: I must say, Art Hill was my preferred sledding hill in the St. Louis area, but this one takes the cake according to my son! We didn't even know it existed, since we aren't from the St. Charles area. Good thing that I started this website, eh! According to my son, this is the best place in the area to go sled riding so far. I would give Blanchette Park and Art Hill about the same rating for the fun factor, but Blanchette Park has "hills", yeah, I said "hills". This location not only has one sledding hill, but 3 of them. One about 30 degrees, one about 35 degrees and one about 40 degrees which all are like sides of a 3-sided bowl. The only hazard that I can see is that if there were multiple sledders going down each sledding hill at the same time, then they could possibly collide at the bottom of the bowl. To some, this could be fun, but to others, well, lets just play it safe and pay attention. Also, some thrill seekers attempt to ride out of the bowl on what could be called a 4th hill, but I WOULDN'T due to the fact that there are many trees in that location and people have been hurt there. I was leaning towards 3 ½ stars, but since my son liked it more than any of the other sledding hills that he's visited, I am going to rate this sled riding hill . Great variety, I will DEFINITELY be back!! |

Directions: The sledding hill is called McNair Hill and it is located at McNair Park off of Droste Road near Zumbehl Road. It is located next to baseball diamond #5. Comments: There is a pavilion at the top of the sledding hill for sledders to congregate. There are a couple telephone poles at the bottom of the hill that some people have hit on occasion and may have gotten hurt (You shouldn't hit them if your paying attention). Also, there is a baseball diamond at the bottom of about a third of the sledding hill on the left. Some people have gotten hurt running into the bleachers. So, please BEWARE of the hazards. At the bottom of the whole sledding hill is a little path of asphalt about 6 feet wide (not a street or anything cars could dirve on). If there's any amount of sledable snow, it will be covered and no scratched sleds. There is a public parking lot on top of the hill. For the handicapped people, there's also a parking lot at the bottom of the sledding hill (but out of the way of on-coming sledders).

Directions: Art Hill at Forest Park Art Museum (#1 Fine Arts Dr.) JAN. 8, 2010 UPDATE: The video filmed Jan. 7th at Art Hill called "It's a Marshmallow Word" is now complete. It is listed above in the videos for this hill or you can click here. Enjoy! Comments: Parking in Art Museum parking lot. Day and night sled riding. Sometimes a barrel with firewood is provided. There are hay bails at the end of the slope to keep sledders from going into the lake (not a problem). Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: Overall, I would rate this sled riding hill a conservative . It has the length and width of a great sledding hill, but is lacking a bit I think. If it were a bit steeper and a long run out at the bottom, then this definitely would be a 4.5 star sledding hill. I like it equally as the Blanchette Park hills, which I gave a conservative 4 stars also too because my son liked them. 5 star hills are hard to come by, and I don't think the local area has any of those to offer. Go to Utah for a 5 star hill.
2009 WEBMASTER NOTE: Since I (the webmaster of this website) live in the St. Louis area, this is one of a few sledding hills that my son and I frequent on snow days. If you see any of our "unique" sleds on Art Hill, then that's probably us. See them all by clicking here. Stop by and say "hi"! Also, we just added sled lights to some of our snow sleds for the 2009/2010 winter season, so if you go night sledding at Art Hill and see sleds or snow tubes with lights on them (very unique), then it may be a sure bet that's us having fun. |

Directions: Suicide Hill is located on Lagoon Drive, a quarter of a mile east of Skinker
Blvd., on the fairway of the public golf course in Forest Park, next to the Cascade Waterfall. If you watch the 2nd half of this video here, then you can see it being sledded on.
Comments: There are 2 edges of this sledding hill, one being about 25 degrees and the "suicide edge" being about 45 degrees. Since the golf course was re-graded in 2004, the sudden drop may have been tapered off on the "suicide edge" (Review to come). The hill is about 60 ft. tall. I spoke to an employee at the golf pro shop, who gave me an Ok to sled there. (there were kids already going down the hill today). Looking at the photo the hill may not seem too steep, but the "suicide" section is the steeper grade on the left side of the picture. Checking a topo map, the hill is 20 or 30 feet higher than Art Hill, and ends in a flat area. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: When I happened upon this hill for the review, I instantly thought, now THAT's a sled riding hill! Being less than a ½ mile from Art hill (a brisk walk away), I thought this sledding hill to have speed written all over it. Yeah, it's not too wide, or even really long, but the slope was all that mattered to me. The location being so so close to Art hill was a plus too, since if one got tired of Art Hill, and wanted some speed, then they could hop right on over to "Suicide Hill", which is right down the road. Therefore, overall I would rate this sled riding hill  .

Directions: Sledding hill at Mathilda Park. The park is on Mathilda Road which is located off Gravois Road in Affton. Federhofer's Bakery is on the corner of Gravois and Mathilda at 9005 Gravois Rd.. Turn onto Mathilda and go about 1/5th of a mile. The park enterance will be on the left.
Comments: There is a public parking area and the sledding hill can be seen from the parking area. You must walk across a small walk-bridge to get to it. There is a small creek at the bottom of the hill, but it flattens out at the bottom, so you usually stop before you get that far. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. Webmaster's Review: This sledding hill poses some hazards due to a few trees that are at the bottom of the sledding hill (see photo). Before one would get to the trees though, there is a bump in the land that would provide for some airtime, but may cause one to lose control and veer off into one of the trees. Therefore, please BEWARE! Also, as the submitter stated, there is a very small creek at the bottom of the sledding hill which could make for a splash if the water isn't frozen, but you should be able to stop before reaching it. I would call this more of a trickle than a creek though. The slope doesn't look to steep (~30 degrees), but from the top it looks better looking down. Overall, I would rate this sled riding hill due to the hazards and slight slope.

At first, you would think, kind of sounds like Blanchette Park with the bowl theme, but don't be so quick to judge. This park has many trees within it and the grade isn't as steep. One would also have to pay to park along the streets that encompass this park at a rate of .25 cents per half hour. While, from the tracks in the snow, once could tell that this site draws some sledders, I would give this sled riding hill an overall rating of  . |

Directions: Sledding Hill at Concordia Park. Concordia Park is apart of the Concordia Seminary land near Forest Park. The park is between De Mun Ave. and Seminary Pl. Comments: If you watch the later half of this video, then you will see this hill being sledded on. There's no guarantee that the ramp seen in the video will be there when you arrive (but it is a pretty cool idea). A snow tube would have cushioned the landing better than a plastic sled.

Directions: Sledding hill located in St. Ferdinand Park (Hwy. 67/N. Lindbergh and St. Ferdinand Rd.) Comments: There is a pond at the bottom, but usually when there is enough snow to sled on the pond is frozen, so if you do slide out onto it you can walk back to solid ground. About halfway down the sledding hill is a concrete ledge that usually has a picnic table on it, but in the winter it makes an excellent ramp to get some airtime on your sled. It is to one side so you can either hit it or not. There is a pavilion at the top of the sledding hill, but parking is at the bottom.

Directions: Sledding hill on the Fairview Elementary School property, which is located at 7047 Emma Ave. The sledding hill is near the track. Click here for a satellite location of the sledding hill. You can park along one of the side streets along College Ave. that has a view of the fenced in track hill. There is an opening in the fence with steps down to access the sledding hill. Comments: This sledding hill is where I, the webmaster, used to go sled riding when I lived in Jennings, MO at age 9. This was back in 1979, but from what I can see, this sledding hill area hasn't changed much. From the satellite photo that goes with this posting, it looks as if the sledding hill is still that same one that I remember. This sledding hill is 2 tiered. The top of the it has a fence that encompasses the school track property and runs along College Ave. From the fence, I remember sliding down this steep incline for it to level out for a short bit and then incline down again. I remember the leveled out part had a slight hump in locations which would allow for some air time. Webmaster's Review: Well, arriving at this hill after 25 years brought back some good ol' memories. It hasn't changed.

Directions: The sledding hill is located at Sioux Passage Park, which is at Old Jamestown and Vaile roads in unincorporated North County. Once in the park, the hill is south of the basketball court and east of the big square parking lot. The sledding hill extends from the trail to the basket ball court down to the parking lot and maybe even further. Comments: Growing up the nickname of the sledding hill was called Man-Maker. This sledding hill had a long huge slope where you probably got going 15 to 20 mph - the thrill was huge! And that walk back up as tiring as it was was worth every ounce of F-U-N! The only real hazards are the trees that surround the parking lot because by time you get to those trees you could still be going 5 to 10 mph and the sudden stop can leave a mark. Sioux Passage is a designated Winter Sports area with snowmobiling, sled riding and cross-country skiing permitted. This is probably one of the best kept snow sledding secrets in St. Louis. Click here for a park locator map and here for a map in .pdf format that will show you where the basketball court is within the park.

Eventhough that we didn't have a lot of snow today, the 2-3 inches did the trick, but quickly turned this sled riding hill to brown snow. 4 inches plus would have been perfect, but you can't have it all. The steepness of this sledding hill and the moguls (Bumpy dips) made for a GREAT FAST ride with airtime down this hill. It may be lacking in the length department, but the steep slope makes up for it, and then some. I will DEFINITELY visit this sledding hill again on a heavy snow day. Overall, I would rate this sled riding hill due to the bumps and speed gained. |
