sledding hills

Westmorland Park (Midvale to Tokay to park)

Huegel Hill at Huegel Elementary School, 2601 Prairie Rd.

Cherokee Middle School's Hill, 4301 Cherokee Drive. sl

Heistand Park - 4302 Milwaukee St.

What makes a good sledding hill for children under 5? Not too steep (and not too much to walk each ride), close to parking lot, not too crowded, and maybe even a warming area?
