As I’m wont to do on a snowy day in Tulsa, I hopped on Twitter and Facebook to see where the best sledding spots are in Green Country.
Here are a few answers from the Facebook- and Twitter-verse:
I live in Turner Park, and I’ve been hoping for a chance to sled over at Rogers High [see address below]…. They have a field that is like a huge bowl!
Harwelden [2210 S. Main Street] is normally a winner and there’s a great two-sided hill on the back/north side of Cherry Hills at 36th between Lakewood and Joplin.
Check with McBirney Mansion [1414 S. Galveston]. They have a great hill out back, and I think they sometimes do sledding there.
BA on sixty first just east of bass pro shop [Not Tulsa proper, but close enough]
Grab your sled. It’s time to head to the hills at the Bass Pro Shop in BA [Hey, if everybody else is jumping off a bridge, shouldn't you at least seriously consider it?]
Isn’t this kind of like fishing holes? You don’t really want to give the best spots away? P.S. It doesn’t get much better than Chandler Park…really.
UPDATE, Jan. 21, 2011//Here are a very suggestions I’ve pulled from the comments section on this post:
- Zink Park, 3216 S. Trenton Ave.
- Woodland Hills Mall, 71st and Memorial, the hills on the north side of the block
- 41st and Mingo, near Roy Clark Elementary
- Will Rogers High School, 3909 East 5th Place
- McClure Park, 7440 E. 7th St.
- Chandler Park, 6500 W. 21st Street
- 23rd and Riverside
I imagine any city park/potential retention pond would be a great place to go sledding, too.
Got your own secret sledding spot? Go ahead, spill the beans and share the location in the comments.

Oh to be young again. I've lost my childlike ways to enjoy the snow except from behind an safe glass window. Have fun!

We went to Rogers High School yesterday and it was great – lots of room to sled and even some stairs to climb back up the hill with.

I am pretty far out of the know regarding Tulsa's best sledding spots. But I have to admit- the mere thought of rushing down an icy hill makes me want to squeak with joy.

Its December now, almost that time again. The 2 spots I frequent is the grass hills/slopes next to Woodland Hills Mall on 71st & Memorial. Its between the mall, old library, and some apartments.
The other spot is on 41st & Mingo area, next to Roy Clark Elementary and the soccer fields seen on the side of 169.

Years ago a friend of mine drove me to see the steepest hill in Tulsa. It is hidden somewhere on the west side, around south 60th street. A narrow one-lane road plunges down, down and then immediately goes up just as steeply. She turned off the brakes and coasted down FAST. And then up the other side. Man it was SCARY!!!

Wow, D.Schuttler. Thanks for those photos. Also? That hill at Chandler Park is so epic.

A stormwater detention pond on the south side of 61st west of Yale (just east of Kirk of the Hills) is our favorite spot.

Added your tip to the map, Michael – thanks so much for the heads up! We’ll have to try that one some time. We’ve never been, but I know the hills in that area are pretty great.
