A Good Snow Fall and A Sunny Day Make This A Top Destination For Those With A Sled.

Have a look at some local sledding heaven, Barrie Park.

Sunglasses, Designer outfit, and Sled--perhaps North Oak Park.

Please dress warmly, good hat and gloves. Remember layers of clothing and don't forget the wind. Please tell your youngsters to get out of the path of sledders, or they will be injured. Before you leave the hill have a look at who is in your way and give them a chance to move first. We did see some high school aged kids get knocked to the ground by other adults who lost control of their sled (have a look above at the video). This is a wonderful hill and it is free, if you don't think about the taxes we pay...if you do think about that they should have hot chocolate and workers to direct the safe flow of sledders.

On your way to Barrie Park, stop and have a look at the
Oak Park Conservatory.
