You might think that sledding is impossible in NYC, a city made entirely out of concrete. But that’s not so! There are plenty of locations where you can get some downhill thrills. If you don’t have a sled, find a cardboard box, and hit one of these parks where you can go sledding in NYC:
1. The Pilgrim Hill In Central Park

2. Morningside Park
[Francisco Daum/Flickr]There are great sledding hills in Manhattan’s Morningside Park at 110th Street, 113th Street, and 122nd Street, all on the east side of the park.
3. Inwood Hill Park

4. Prospect Park

5. Forest Park
