Super Slopes! Where to Go Sledding in Chicago & Beyond

by Debra Flanagan

If there’s snow on the ground, you’ll want to be at one of these highly-rated sledding hills in and around Chicago

Make the climb and then down, down, down you go. Where will you stop? At the bottom of one of Chicago’s awesome sledding hills—with a humongous smile on your cheeks. When Mother Nature buries us in the white stuff, you’ll want to know exactly where to go to enjoy . . . and you won’t have to travel far. Illinois has a reputation for being rather flat, so even we can’t believe how many quality sled hills we found (more than 20 so far!) within the city limits and surrounding suburbs. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered from Soldier Field to Vernon Hills to a handful of hidden gems you can enjoy all winter long.

The Best Sledding Hills in Chicago

Caldwell Woods

The famous toboggan slides from this Northwest-side hill are gone, but this is still a great place to whiz down a snowdrift. It’s easy for small kids to manage, is lit at night, has ample parking and indoor bathrooms. You may want to try some cross-country skiing while you are there. Go around lunch or dinner to enjoy Superdawg just around the corner. Call 847-647-2240 for sledding hill status.

Dan Ryan Woods

Located in the Beverly neighborhood, this slope is a well-kept South Side secret. It's rarely crowded, has hills for both sleds and snowboards and is great for all ages—especially little ones thanks to the easy “up” paths. Sledding hills have lighting and are staffed Sun.-Thurs., 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; Fri. & Sat., 10 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Fun fact to share with the kiddos: Surrounded by a pretty forest, the hill is the remaining basin of a glacier. Call 773-233-3766 for sledding hill status.

Gompers Park

A wetland destination in the summertime, Gompers Park slicks up in winter, covering nearly 39 acres in the North Park neighborhood. With its smaller hills, it's perfect for newbies looking for a minor thrill. Fieldhouse hours, Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sat., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Horner Park

An Irving Park neighborhood gem, Horner Park is mostly known for its seasonal events and summer sports. However, in between holiday festivities the park’s hills are filled with sled-toting families lined up for snowy thrill-seeking in one of the North Side’s biggest parks. Fieldhouse hours, Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-10 p.m.; Sat. & Sun., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Humboldt Park

Another hidden gem can be found at Humboldt Park, one of the few hills located on the west side. If the kids aren't worn out from sledding, enjoy free ice skating in the park. Bathrooms available during Fieldhouse hours, Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m.; Sat., 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Montrose Harbor

Shhhh . . . the harbor's Cricket Hill isn't officially designated for sledding, but come winter it's one of the favorite downhill fun spots for city dwellers. Locals tend to create some bumped-out runs so you can lift off and catch some air if you are daring. Total bonus: this hill has beautiful lake shore views, and the boat harbor is just as stunning in winter as it is in summer.

Oz Park

It may not be the biggest sledding hill to be found, but its convenient location keeps Lincoln Park families—particularly ones with toddlers and young children—flocking there. When the kiddos retire their sleds for the day, take a stroll through the park to check out the Wizard of Oz statues: Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Dorothy with Toto. Street parking and bathrooms available during Fieldhouse hours, Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Palmisano Park

The kids will think it’s neat they're sledding on a former garbage dump—minus the stink—turned sledding hill. Enjoy the magnificent southern view of Chicago's skyline and the park's pond and wetlands, and warm up with coffee from Jackalope Coffee or Bridgeport Coffeehouse, located just down the street.

Soldier Field

The magnificence of Soldier Field is overshadowed in the eyes of children in the winter by the nearby sledding hill.  The Chicago Park District creates its own faux snow to supplement the real stuff, so the hill is kept white and fluffy. With a 33-foot vertical drop, this one is great for the thrill-seekers in your family. There’s a little staircase built-in to help with the climb back up. Plastic sleds only. Be sure to call 312-235-7000 before you head south for the winter, as sledding is not always available.

Warren Park

Here you get the perk of a big parking lot that’s rarely full, plus plenty of street parking. Situated in the heart of Rogers Park, the hill is a decent size and known for being a popular destination for toboggan users. It’s also great for little ones since the hill has stairs on either side, starting gates at the top of the hill and a nearby warming house. If you tire of sledding, this park also has one of the city’s best outdoor ice rinks.

Bartlett - Villa Olivia

For a downhill experience with a little more intensity, head to Villa Olivia. Participants must be at least 6 years old and 42 inches tall to ride alone. Ages 4 and 5 may ride share with a paying adult age 18 and over. For safety reasons, no one under the age of 4 may go snow tubing. Fee includes two hours of snow tubing, use of the conveyor lift (aka magic carpet) and snow tube. Snow tubing is not guaranteed without an online reservation. For daily updates on availability and conditions call the snow phone at 630-540-4199. Thurs.-Fri., 5:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m.; Sat., Sun., & Holidays, 9 a.m.-10 p.m.

Elmhurst - Eldridge Park

BYO sled, tube or saucer, and let it rip at this spacious, lighted sledding hill. Lights turn on around 4 p.m. and the sled hill will close at 11 p.m. daily. Status of each of the sled hills will be communicated during the winter via the Rainout Hotline. If practicing figure 8s is more your speed, head to the park’s lagoon for skating (allowed when ice is eight inches thick).

Elmhurst

Evanston - James Park

Some people know this park by its former life as a landfill. In fact, its biggest hill is lovingly called "Mount Trashmore" by locals. Pay that no mind—the sledding here is an absolute joy, even if the most massive mound is off-limits (the four adjacent slopes, of small and medium steepness, are open for sledding only). All activities at James Park are at the user's own risk. The City of Evanston is not responsible for any damages or injuries to any persons or property arising out of sledding.

Glenview - Flick Park

This lighted sledding hill has a roughly 30-degree slope that cascades into an open field. Hill is lit until 10 p.m. Visit the Weather Cancellations page to learn the activity status or call the Rainout Line at 847-724-3337 and enter ext. 24 for automated updates. Bonus: convenient adjacent parking.

Johns Park is similar to the sledding at Flick Park and is also lit until 10 p.m. If you call the Rainout Line (847-724-3337) for automated updates, enter ext. 25.

Lake Villa - Caboose Park

In addition to a sizable hill, Caboose Park has one of the few toboggan chutes in the area. It’s also one of the few hills lit for late-night sled goers. The lights are on daily, 5:30 p.m.-10 p.m.

Naperville - Riverwalk Sled Hill at Rotary Hill

Right on the Naperville Riverwalk, this sledding hill allows for easy pre- or post-sledding fun with a nearby ice rink and lots of dining options in downtown Naperville. Le Chocolat has the most amazing selection of hot chocolate, for those looking for a liquid warm-up. Hill is lighted and closes at 10:00 p.m. daily.

441 Aurora Ave.
Naperville
Online: napervilleparks.org

Northbrook - Techny Prairie Park and Field

With a 28-foot hill, Techny Prairie Park and Fields may seem overwhelming for smaller sledders. However, the hill has stairs making it a ball for kids of all ages. It is well lit at night and has a warming house for kids (or parents) who need a burst of heat.

1750 Techny Rd.
Northbrook
Online: nbparks.org

Oak Park - Barrie Park

Climb the stairs to the tippy-top of this gentle slope that’s oh-so-popular on snowy Saturdays. The hill was redesigned for better flow but still can get icy which means the big kids will love going fast and little ones may need a grown-up to ride with them.

1011 S. Lombard Ave.
Oak Park
Online: pdop.org

Rolling Meadows - North Salk Park

Very family friendly, especially for little ones because it’s one of the few hills with steps for the climb back up. There is no sledding allowed if a red flag is posted; a yellow flag means use caution. In the evenings, the hill is lit up.

Rolling Meadows

Vernon Hills - Century Park

We love this one because of its awesome warming shelter (open weekends only) and nearby restrooms. Sledding is permitted when snow is considered by the Park District to be deep enough; a sign posted near the hill will tell you if sledding is permitted on any given day. Century Park has an ice rink with skate rentals, as well as candy and hot drinks available for purchase.

Warrenville - Blackwell Forest Preserve

Beautiful oak trees surround the 800-foot Mount Hoy sledding hill where $10 rents you a tube for the day. Mount Hoy is only open on the weekends and school holidays (and closes at 4 p.m.) and only for tubing. Never fear sledders, the park does have smaller sledding hills. Nearby you’ll find an ice rink, sleigh rides (check website for updates, as availability has not yet been announced) and snowshoe rental.

Live Stream Baby Beluga, Big Belugas & More From the Comfort of Your Couch

by Sarah Shebek

Beluga cam is back! If you’ve ever wanted to watch a live stream of migrating beluga whales, we’ve got the scoop for you. Explore.org and Polar Bears International will launch the Beluga Whale Live Cam on July 15, which broadcasts from Churchill River where it meets the Hudson Bay.

It’s quite the show, with approximately 57,000 whales migrating into Canada. Your family can participate in “Beluga Bits,” examining underwater photos of the whales to ID age, size and regular migrators.

As the ice breaks up during the summer months, about two-thirds of the world’s beluga population spend time in more southern Canadian waters. The whales rely on sea ice and shallow waters for protection from predators, like Orcas. However, global warming is causing a decline in sea ice, so belugas have to dive deeper and longer to find food.

July 15 is Arctic Ice Sea Day, a day hosted by Polar Bears International to draw attention to the rapidly melting Arctic ecosystem. You can join live scientists Q&As, donate to the cause and learn more about why sea ice is so important. Kids can learn how to draw a polar bear or a narwhal, too!

Teaching Your Child about Climate Change

By Cynthia Thayer

As adults, we have all experienced a crash course in climate change—whether we sought it out of our own volition or not. And while the concepts of global warming haven’t come without controversy, more and more messages related to climate change are hitting the mainstream every day. From the (almost daily) news, to political debates, to simply experiencing the weather outside, the complex and sometimes controversial topic of climate change has become part of our everyday world. In fact, as many as 1 in 5 Americans recall being exposed to climate change-related media messaging at least once a week, and 70% of Americans now agree that climate change is real.

As we struggle to improve our own climate literacy, the inundation of messaging on the topic has made it more important than ever to start the conversation about climate change and global warming with our children. As parents, we hope to rely on our children’s academic curriculum when it comes to science education, but in the U.S., these conversations need to start at home. While countries like the U.K. have started to integrate climate change into the school curriculum, the U.S. has yet to do the same. It is up to us as parents to develop a toolbox and framework for walking our children through this topic, with the goal of mitigating anxiety and promoting action and hope. Our children are the next line of defense, and as the incumbent generation of stewards for our planet, knowing how to have meaningful conversations with them about global warming and the impacts of climate change is more imperative than ever before.

While simple ideas such as reduce, reuse and recycle have been the go-to concepts for introducing our children to their role in the environment around them—and engaging them with a call to action—it is time for us to go deeper into teaching them the causes, consequences and potential solutions to protecting our climate. But where do you begin? While it may seem as daunting as climate change itself, focusing on simple, empowering and hopeful age-appropriate conversations is the best way to begin. Only you truly understand your child, so feel free to adjust these tips and guidelines based on your own child’s knowledge and sensitivity to these topics.

Keep it simple, basic and relatable.

While climate change is a macro issue, when it comes to your kids, keep it micro. Focus on your own household, neighborhood, and school first. Model eco-friendly behaviors at home, and take the time to explain WHY you are adopting these behaviors. Not only does this engage your child and give them ownership and accountability, but these behaviors create the perfect opportunity to reiterate the positive impact your child is already having on climate change. Habits such as recycling, eliminating single-use plastics and plastic bags, energy conservation in the home, composting and gardening are all great ways to get your child to participate and keep them engaged. Integrate interactive toys and learning games into your child’s play, such as Yowie, that are designed to teach and empower children about conservation in a fun, memorable, and age-appropriate way. There are even a number of children’s books available that can really help you build climate literacy together with your child.

Encourage them to take action and embrace personal responsibility.

One of the best ways to mitigate the anxiety many children have as they learn more about the severity of climate change is to keep them empowered and engaged. When they feel their personal behaviors are making an impact, they can feel a little more at ease about climate change. As parents, it is our job to recognize and reward these behaviors as they develop and become part of your lifest‌yle. It can be as simple as opting to walk or ride a bike to the park over driving, or taking public transportation. The opportunities to point out and recognize how their behaviors create a positive impact are all around us.

Talk about what it means to be a global citizen.

No one knows your child better than you, so when you think the time is right, you can expand the conversation to teach your child what it means to be a global citizen. Get them involved in the community, teach them about your local and state governments, and the roles they play when it comes to civic duty. Start talking with them about how the impacts they are making at home may seem small, but have a lasting, profound effect on our entire planet. Teach them about regions of the world, such as the Amazon, and other ecosystems that need protecting. Find their passion (for example, animals, the ocean, the rainforest, etc.), and encourage them to explore ways they would like to make an even bigger difference.

Keep the avenues for talking about climate change open.

When it comes to talking about climate change with her 10-year old daughter, science journalist Michelle Nijhuis recommends a similar approach to other challenging topics (sex education, as an example). “As a parent, I approach the subject of climate change much like I approach the subject of sex: While I answer all questions, without hesitation and in full, I make sure not to answer more questions than I’m asked.” By letting your child lead the conversation, you can make sure you are keeping the education level exactly where they are comfortable.

And while few of us see ourselves as experts on the topic, there are amazing resources available, such as those developed by NASA and PBS to partner with parents and families and guide us all on our journey towards climate literacy. NASA’s climate website for children is a great resource for educating children and their parents alike.

Make This Tonight: Easy Noodle Pancakes

By Catherine McCord

Photo: Weelicious

If our kids could eat two foods on repeat it would be noodles and pancakes. Catherine McCord of Weelicious combined these two popular dishes into one, and we have a hunch this noodle pancake recipe will be a new fave in your home. We love that it utilizes those leftover noodles we bet you never know what to do with. With the addition of diced veggies and eggs, these noodle pancakes make a healthy and filling meal.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked egg noodles
3 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3 cup corn (I used frozen corn that I defrosted first)
1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup broccoli, chopped (raw or cooked)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
olive oil

Method:

1. Place all the ingredients (except for the olive oil) in a bowl and stir to combine.

2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.

3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture per pancake in the pan and cook for 3 minutes (you can pour as many pancakes at once as fit comfortably in your pan).

4. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 3 minutes. Continue making the pancakes with the remaining mixture.

To freeze: Allow to cool, then place in ziploc bag, label and freeze. When ready, pop them into the oven at 300 for 10 minutes or until warmed through or defrost in fridge for 24 hours then heat in a dry pan.

Catherine McCord is the co-founder of One Potato and the founder of the popular Weelicious brand, a trusted content resource synonymous with family and food. She has written three cookbooks including her latest Smoothie Project. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three children.

Homeschooling Families Are Hitting the Road in RVs

by Jennifer Swartvagher

Between remote learning and working from home, parents have the opportunity to get creative with new schedules, routines and workspaces. According to RVshare, rental bookings are on the rise. A recent survey found that RV rentals are predicted to spike well into Fall with 69% of respondents planning to hit the road within the next 3 months.

With all of this new-found freedom, families are choosing to homeschool on the road. Each destination becomes part of the lesson plan. RVshare connected with 2 families who are hitting the road full-time.

RV

 

Julie Patridge from Mount Airy, Maryland owns an event planning company, but recently decided to take her business on the road alongside her husband, four children and dog Chewy. Her family has been enjoying the outdoors for four years now and quickly noticed they were always happier when camping so they plan to homeschool and transition full-time into a camper by mid-November as soon as their house sells.

Patridge said, “There is something so freeing about living a simpler life with less stuff and more adventures! I started wondering if there was a way to make it work. I threw out the idea about two years ago and Jeff warmed up to it rather quickly. We’ve been slowly downsizing since then and are almost ready to go!”

Jenny St. Louis from Windsor, California has been traveling since July with her family. They are currently in Montana with plans to go to Idaho this weekend. Since they hit the road, they’ve stopped in California, Washington, Oregon and Montana with plans to visit most of the national parks in other states!

St. Louis said,  “We decided to do it for a life change! We never saw my hubby! He was a general sales manager at a Ford dealership! Worked about 60 hours a week. So we didn’t really see him.”

If you want to take school on the road long-term or just for a short trip, RVshare allows you to do that easily with more than 100,000 rental options nationwide and flexible cancellation policies.

3 Proven Stress Relief Techniques That Take Less than Sixty Seconds

By Liza Kindred

An hour-long yoga class or a 20-minute meditation session both have enormous benefits—we all know that. But we don’t have to carve out big swaths of time to be able to care for ourselves. The truth is, in the middle of life’s most stressful moments, sometimes all we have time to spare is one single minute.

The good news is that even 60 seconds, when spent mindfully, can help put you on a path towards de-stressing. Here are three techniques that you can do in 60 seconds or less (really!) from my new book, Eff This! Meditation: 108 Tips, Tricks, and Ideas for When You’re Feeling Anxious, Stressed Out, or Overwhelmed.

OUTBREATH > INBREATH 

This is my all-time favorite self-care tip for both it’s simplicity and it’s power: when we purposefully extend our outbreath to last longer than our inbreath, we activate our parasympathetic nervous system. This begins to relax us and automatically decreases our heart rate and blood pressure. The next time you feel like tearing your hair out, take a few deep breaths and exhale for a few counts more than you inhale. (Bonus: you can teach this tip to your kiddos, too!)

FEEL YOUR FEET 

While you can do this grounding practice anytime and anywhere, I especially love it when I’m standing in line feeling frustrated: take a deep breath and tune in to the feeling of your feet touching the ground (or your shoes, or the floor.) Notice how your toes feel, how the balls of your feet feel, and tune in to your arches and your heels. Pay special attention to the feeling of connection between the different parts of your feet and what might be touching them. Maybe rock back and forth a little, or move your feet if it feels good. Spend 60 seconds doing this, and then notice if anything has shifted.

HANDS OVER EARS

This centering exercise helps by connecting you to your own body and heart: close your eyes and rub your hands together gently to the count of ten, warming them slightly. Place them gently over both ears, and with your eyes still closed, take a dozen slow, deep breaths. When you are done, open your eyes and see how you feel. (This is another great tool to share with your little ones.)

Modify these practices however you need for your own body, health, and situation. You can tune into the feeling of your feet while sitting in a chair or walking, or add an essential oil to your palms before rubbing them together. The most important thing is to try the techniques so that they become familiar to you—this way you’ll be more likely to remember them in life’s most harried moments!

You deserve to feel good, less stressed—these techniques can help.
