Washington Township Park Winter Sledding Hill & Paw Park Trails

About this adventure

Spanning 160 scenic acres in Avon, Washington Township Park is Hendricks County's favorite gathering space for cold-weather family fun. Whenever winter storms blanket Central Indiana with fresh powder, families flock to the park's renowned sledding hill located near the upper pavilion. The hill offers a steep, thrilling descent with a long, safe flat run-out at the base, accommodating everything from saucer sleds to double-rider toboggans. Beyond the sledding hill, families can explore miles of paved walking trails that wind through woods and cross picturesque wooden covered bridges over White Lick Creek. Children can also play on the park's all-inclusive playground, which features adaptive swings, climbing structures, and ramps over poured-in-place rubber safety flooring. Heated park pavilions provide a comfortable spot to thaw frozen fingers and enjoy packed thermoses of hot chocolate.
