Bolton Mansion
85 Holly Drive, Levittown
Families have been sledding down the hills at this historic mansion’s estate for generations and will continue for years to come! “One of the best spots for sledding! Had a great time! Brought back so many memories,” says Susie T.
Bucks County Community College
275 Swamp Rd, Newtown
On snowy days you can trade in hitting the books for hitting the slopes. Jessica H. can’t recall the exact location, “but there’s a great hill on the Bucks County Community College campus.”
Central Park
425 Wells Road, Doylestown
Overlooking Kids Castle, another family favorite in warmer climate, are some pretty decent hills at Central Park. “My kids just went to Central Park today and had a blast,” Heather W. shared just after a Central Bucks School District-wide snow day.
Fonthill Castle
525 E Court St, Doylestown
Nestled right in the heart of Doylestown Borough’s Historic District, Fonthill Castle is a sledding hotspot among the Bucks County Parent Community. Considering its central location in the borough and ample parking, the hill is a popular place to be after any snowfall!
Helen Randle Park
236 Swamp Road, Newtown
Directly across from the entrance of Bucks County Community College, Helen Randle Park attracts local sledders looking to get some serious air.
Magill’s Hill Park
River Road and Chapel Road, New Hope
Stephen F. says it’s always worth one last sledding trip to Magill’s before the season’s over. Come to Magill’s Hill Park and you’ll find, in addition to 5-acres of steeply sloped and wide hills, a beautiful view of the Delaware River. Look for a few parking spots across the street at Canal Path Park.
Mercer Museum
84 S. Pine Street, Doylestown
Plenty of room right and a great hill to sled with Mercer Museum as a picturesque towering backdrop? This could possibly be the most romantic place to sled, if you’re looking for a fun date day activity!
Nockamixon State Park
1542 Mountain View Drive, Quakertown
The area above the Marina is an ideal spot to bring your tobaggan. Enter the park through Harrisburg School Road and park in lot #13. Nockamixon makes for a great day trip too, as there are plenty of other winter activities you can engage in, such as ice skating if the lake is frozen over (be sure to bring an ice auger)!
Peace Valley Park
264 Creek Road, Doylestown
Jennifer K., who’s boys are now teens, recommends the hills at Peace Valley Park and Pennridge High School (below). One of the park’s greatest hills (which also offers spectacular views of the park), can be found on the northwest side of Lake Nockamixon. Look for parking by Pavilion Five, which you can get to from New Galena Road.
Pennridge High School
1228 N. 5th Street, Perkasie
Sleeping in late, drinking hot chocolate, and sledding down Championship Hill are all activities common for a snow day at Pennridge.
Tyler State Park
101 Swamp Road, Newtown
Once the roads clear and you’ve defrosted your car, drive over to the Upper Plantation Picnic Area at Tyler State Park for a good old fashioned ride down the hill. A parking lot and bathrooms are nearby, so it’s an ideal location for young children who may frequently need a break. Looking for a little more adventurous slopes off the beaten path? The hills to the west of Schofield Ford Covered Bridge are a great spot as well.
