## About

Located in West Chester on the historic site of the Voice of America relay broadcast station, this 435-acre park operated by MetroParks of Butler County is a favorite winter recreational destination. The highlight of the park in winter is the massive, 65-foot man-made sledding hill—one of the largest and most exhilarating sledding hills in southwest Ohio. Designed specifically for safe winter sledding, the hill features a wide, groomed face with an extensive flat runout area at the base, ensuring safe decelerations for kids on tubes, sleds, and saucers. Gentler slope grades on the side cater to smaller toddlers and nervous first-time sledders. Following snow play, families can take a brisk stroll along the 1.4-mile paved pathway circling the 35-acre lake or walk over to the nearby Voice of America Museum to learn about broadcast history.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved parking lots connect directly to the flat, paved 1.4-mile lakeside trail, providing effortless stroller walking even on chilly winter mornings.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern park lodge and restroom facilities with heating and infant changing tables; heated cars can park right beside the sledding hill for quick warm-ups.
• Age Suitability: Fantastic for all ages; parents can sled in tandem with toddlers or watch from the base while older kids hike the summit.
• Sensory Tips: High-energy, joyful outdoor snow play atmosphere; bring waterproof snow bibs, insulated gloves, and helmets for younger tubers.
