Winter in Louisville means taking advantage of rare snowfall on local hills and parks. When snow sticks, open park slopes around the city quickly turn into neighborhood sledding favorites.

Louisville spots to consider:

• Cherokee Park has rolling hills that locals head to for sledding after fresh snowfall. Its central location and wide open slopes make it one of the most popular in-town places for winter play. (Source: Louisville, KY)

Further outdoors:

• Joe Creason Park— This park near the Louisville Zoo offers steeper terrain that can make for longer sled runs when conditions are right. It’s about a 15–20 minute drive from downtown and provides a more spacious setting for snow-day fun.
