Sledding, Snow Forts, & Snow Ice Cream

Posted on: Thu, 02/03/2011 - 09:24| By: GinaBina

It’s awesome weather for sledding! If your backyard isn’t great for sledding, check out these fun sledding areas. Detweiller Park near the Dogwood Shelter, is a nice, long, hilly favorite. According to some mommy friends, Laura Bradley Park has a small hill near the tennis courts, another near the playground, and an additional steeper one. McNaughton Park is another one in Pekin. Please read this link on sledding safety, and be courteous when waiting for your turn.
