Sledging in the Town

Queen-Mise

Is there anywhere in the town, with a hill that you can sledge - any hidden gems that I don't know about.

Preferably somewhere that I may not need a car to get to...

Cheers

How about the hill into the back of Pennys car park dont think you will get much better in the town.

could you sledge down the hill (??) in the Town Park..... Would the steps make it too hard

Id say the only way you are getting to the top of Killeshin is by helicopter though... If you have one, I will go along if you get a lift :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Plenty of sledgin in the park today! was lots of families there looked like so much fun.
The slopes of the hill jus added to the fun! def worth a look.

Shows what you know! Castle Hill is perfect! OP just bring your sled into town and ask for directions!

Venture out of town (a big ask these last few weeks i know!) & head somewhere hilly like Mt.Leinster., Hacketstown or Borris.
Pound Lane in Borris was full of tobaconists today.
IFI Bags were back in fashion along with trays, lids of storage-boxes etc.
Quite a sight.

You'll do well to stay out of anywhere hilly out of town ,plenty cars still getting stuck trying to climb hiils.

I was in the park this evening with my nephew and my home made sled! The hill was crowded with kids, with everything from plastic sacks, mats, cardboard boxes, large trays and even a group with a large metal 'STOP' sign!! The latter were coming down off the hill (the nearest side to the gate) at an exceptional rate, even though the hill is stepped, they were coming off it, onto the path and up onto the grass!! All depends on your sleigh really.

The original park was much better, there was two hills, one slightly steeper than the other, good for sleding!

Mount Leinster would be the bomb. even for snow boarding!!!:) but the best option i can see around the town would be the park...
