☃ Sledding Hills in Naperville

Updated August 2026 • Curated by NaperKids

Naperville's public sledding hills are managed by the Naperville Park District, which decides when hills are open based on snow depth and conditions and posts daily status during winter. Rather than publish hill-by-hill conditions here (they change day to day), we point you to the official source and share sledding safety tips. Any winter and sledding events we pick up from local calendars appear below.

Check open/closed status first

The Naperville Park District opens designated sledding hills only when there is adequate snow cover and safe conditions, and it posts the current status during winter. Before loading up the sleds, check the Naperville Park District website or call their office for today's sledding-hill status. We intentionally do not publish specific hill difficulty or lighting details here unless the Park District has confirmed them.

Sledding safety tips

  • Sled only on designated hills, feet-first and sitting up — never head-first.
  • Keep away from streets, parking lots, ponds, and trees at the bottom of the run.
  • Helmets (bike or ski) add real protection for younger kids.
  • Go when hills are officially open; avoid icy, crusted, or bare conditions.
  • Dress in warm, waterproof layers and take breaks to warm up.
