Anyone know of some good places to take kids sledding in the Lancaster/Alden area?

If Amherst was an option there is a sledding hill at Billy Wilson State Park on Hopkins Rd Williamsville.  Also behind Amherst Middle school and Island Park south of the falls and the side of the 290/90 on Wherle Drive.   That one sucks donkey ballz though.....

Thank you everyone, just looking for something closer than the reservoir in Niagara County.

That's where all my sledding was done as a kid.

A few years (maybe two??) I gave "lockednloaded" a couple sleds for his kiddos.  Cute little buggers!

As a little kid I LOVED sledding.  The old Flexible Flyer was an outstanding piece of equipment.........I took a lot of wipeout in stride and the sled did too.

I took the kids Como park yesterday they had a blast and the were only 6 other kids there.

@Lawdwaz even wrote his name on it for us. Autographed by a true whitetail slayer. My kids love to go and typically we go to Billy wilson park on Hopkins.

When they are just a tad older I'd like to hit up chestnut ridge. I went to the ridge as a kid and that was a blast. We would pack a cooler of lunches and enjoy  it inside the community building there. I remember warming up to the wood fire. If I recall it was free not sure if it still is.

My old "Flexible Flyer" used to be an outstanding piece of equipment too, Larry...That is until it became TOO flexible...<<SIGH>>…..

Please except my sincere apologies on butchering your handle, KEVIN.

Elma Meadows Park is a great spot. The restaurant should be open inside on the weekends for a place to warm up and grab a hot chocolate.

We bombed the sledding hill at Allegheny one year on my father in laws toboggan , there was 5 or 6 of us on it . Right about the time i thought we were going to fast to be safe ,we hit the part that gets steeper . We skipped off the bumps until the timing lined up and we launched one ,there was a collective "uuuhhhhh" from the sound of everyone exhaling at the same time and then it was just snow,sky,snow,sky etc. until it was done . Good times.

Bump enjoyed some evening sledding at Billy wilson park last night. Sleds courtesy of @Lawdwaz. Bad pics but you can imagine the fun!

[Lawdwaz]

Thanks for using them Kevin........It really makes my day to see the kids enjoying something that I absolutely loved when I was a little shaver.

Ironically, I passed that park yesterday & today a couple times and I was surprised to see the amount of kids sledding during school hours.  Nice!!
