COLUMBUS, Ohio — Snow has fallen and coated the central Ohio area enough for sledding.
There are plenty of hills to check out in the area perfect for those looking to gain some downhill speed and enjoy the snowy day with some outdoor fun. Columbus Metro Parks and several state and city parks are popular spots for families looking for a quiet place to sled with some impressive slopes.
So grab your sleds, tubes, snowboards, coat, hat and mittens and check out a hill near you!
