When the snow begins to fall, you can count on Westminster residents to descend upon City Park with inner tubes, sleds, and even skis and snowboards in hand.
Westminster’s City Park (10455 N. Sheridan Blvd.) has become one of the metro area’s greatest snow day destinations because the sloped incline lends itself to gravity-powered fun for all ages. The slope is steep enough to gain plenty of speed, but safely flattens out to an expansive field with room to stop.
Westminster’s Parks, Recreation and Libraries Director Tomás Herrera-Mishler said sledding at City Park is a must for making the most out of winter in Westminster.
“Westminster’s parks are always fun, but winter adds great opportunities for cold weather activities such as sledding,” he said. “We hope families will make some great memories together this winter, enjoying our great sledding venues whenever we get a good snowfall.”
For some residents, sliding down hills in the cold may not be the ideal snow day activity. If you prefer a more relaxing activity to stay warm when it gets cold outside, Recreation Services Manager Tim Lachermeier has some options for you.
“While the kids are on the sledding hill at City Park, take some time for yourself and book a massage at the City Park Fitness Center. You can stay warm by enjoying the steam room, sauna or hot tub located in the aquatics area of City Park Recreation Center. And if the snow is just not quite right yet, bring the family over to City Park and let them try out the old-school rope swing or the lazy river waiting for the snow to pile up outside.”
