Tommy’s Hill in Germantown
A nice steep hill that will thrill the heart of avid sledders. Be careful when it gets crowded as there are trees on either side, but bottom line is, it’s a great hill!

Water Hill in Chestnut Hill
Has a variety of hills so its great for the tetering tykes to the adventurous pre-teens who want to take advantage of their next snow day.

Probably the most unconventional “hill” listed and most dangerous, but when your downtown sledding hills can be hard to come by. So, sled at your own risk and wait for heavy snow before giving this spot a try.
