There is nothing quite like going sledding on freshly fallen snow.  The pure excitement and joy that thrill of sledding brings to kids (and let’s be honest, adults!) is one of the best things about winter.  Plus, it’s a great reason to get everyone outside for some fresh air.

Below is a list of sledding hills and tubing hills in the Rochester, MN Area. Happy sledding…and please be safe!

ROCHESTER MN PARKS & RECREATION

Rochester, MN, offers two fantastic sledding hills for winter fun, including the newly added hill at Gamehaven Park. This exciting addition provides a spacious, well-maintained area for families and sledding enthusiasts to enjoy the snowy season. The city’s sledding spots are free to use, offering accessible, outdoor fun for all ages, with safety guidelines in place to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Sledding Hills

Bundle up and head out for a day of sledding! There are two designated sledding hills in Rochester:

Other Fun Locations

There are no warming houses at these locations. However, we’re sure you’ll have so much fun racing down the hills you won’t even think about the cold!

On the west side of Quarry Hill Park, you’ll find a nice big hill to slide down. In addition, there is an open field for running around, building snowmen, and more. BONUS! There’s a great parking lot and you can walk the trail to the Quarry Hill Nature Center.

This is more of a gently sloping hill as opposed to steep and fast.  Great for smaller kids who are just getting the hang of sledding.
