Rosedale park Lawrence new jersey only 50 feet but its cool and mcgills hill in washington crossings park you can see it from the street forget where
Thanks Nick, we’ve added it to the list. ~ Jenn
Freehold Mall/Toys R Us complex (Monmouth Cty) stopped allowing sledders although is was an amazing hill!
That stinks, but thanks for letting us know Doug. We have removed it from the list. ~ Jenn
I heard knob hill (golf course) in manalapan (monmouth county) is good. I also heard they dont allow sledding anymore at the freehold mall/toys r us…security will chase u away…this is all just hearsay…anyone else hear this?
Knoll Country Club in Parsippany, Morris County, has a few great hills to sled on. Have fun! Hope to see you there!
Thanks Joy.
Please be aware that Twin Lights Historic Site in Highlands, NJ is NOT a recreational park, it is a historic site and therefore sleigh riding is NOT allowed on site. Please remove us from your list, thank you.
We have removed it. Thank you for letting us know. ~ Jenn
Floods Hill off of Valley/S.Valley in South Orange NJ, #1 Hotspot for all Orange/Maplewood residents you know what I’m talking about right infront of the Orange Club. Another good spot is Baltusrol CC on summits side where we all hop over the fence for a nice golf course like sled ride.
Near us in Monmouth county its Howell Public Library. Long and wide with great parking top and bottom and always a bunch of people there.
Burlington County has a great hill in Maple Shade called Steinhauer Hill. Everyone still sleds there!
Camden County.
There is a sunken baseball/cricket field, with a huge hill on 2 sides. Also no fence around field. I don’t know the name of the field but it’s the corner of Fairmont Drive and Johnson Road, Gloucester Township.
Woodbridge community center is not the place for sledding. Cops said sledding is NOT allowed here!
Although I love most information like this, sometimes it is difficult when places end up bombarded with people–places that were usually “less crowded.” One of the sledding spots in Union County is where we go with many friends from town. I truly hope that it doesn’t become overly crowded now. Similarly, a favorite summer spot in town was mentioned on this website or one like it and it went from a great mini local cooling off place to chaos with too many kids. We will see I guess. Either way, have safe fun everyone.
Really. There is no sledding hill in Atlantic Highlands. There are two great hills at the HIGHLANDS Elementary School in Highlands.
For the record High Point state park in sussex county is located in Wantage Nj NOT montague.
Thank you Victoria, we have updated the listing.
That’s it for Ocean County??? =(
We are working on finding more Meghan and updating this list as we find them. ~ Jenn & Dianne
Folks – you’ve got Hudson twice. One should be Hunterdon. FYI…
Thanks so much. We’ve fixed it!
Great list but you missed the best place in union county and perhaps the entire state…..galloping hill golf course’s suicide hill.
Thanks Tom. We’ll add it in. ~ Jenn
Actually, Galloping Hill no longer allows sledding.
I remember going there when I was four or five years old that was 65 years ago
