13 Places to Go Sledding in Fargo-Moorhead

Once the snow sticks, the park districts open 13 sledding hills across the three cities. Here's every one, plus what to know before you go.

Fargo: 2 hills, free sleds

• Edgewood Chalet, 19 Golf Course Ave. N - no charge to use the sleds, and the old clubhouse is a warming house with a fireplace and a snack bar.¹
• Mickelson Park, 901 Oak St. N - the hill is on the flood levee. Sleds are free; leave a photo ID or a $20 deposit until you bring yours back.²

Hours: weekdays 4-8 p.m., weekends noon-8 p.m., closed December 24-25.²

The rules: no metal saucers, toboggans, sleds with metal runners, or cardboard; up to four sleds per group; no snowboards or skis on the hill; and stay inside the straw-bale or fenced lanes.³

West Fargo: 5 free hills

With warming houses: Rendezvous Park (1055 32nd Ave. W) and Maplewood Park (1504 17th Ave. E). Without: Rivers Bend Park (2548 1st St. E), West River Park (7th Ave. & 8th St. W), and Goldenwood Park (1330 5th St. NW).⁴ Weather closures are on the information line, 701-551-7138.⁴

Moorhead: 6 hills

Kid-friendly hills at Horn Park, Riverview Estates Park, Romkey Park, Woodlawn Park, Village Green Sixth Park, and Viking Ship Park - that last one is built for Frostival.⁵

Too cold?

Fargo's sledding hills and warming houses may close early when it hits -10°F or colder, or a wind chill of -30°F or colder.³ Moorhead uses the same line for its warming houses and activities.⁵

Want to ski instead? Moorhead grooms eight cross-country ski trails, and Edgewood rents skis and snowshoes. Our sledding and ski trails page has all of it - and from December through February, a live check of whether it's too cold.
