It’s SNOWING!!!!
Pull out the boots and gloves, grab the sled, load up the car and head for the best places for sledding before anyone else gets there!!!!
Since I was a little girl, my three favorite places to go sledding in Essex County were at:
1. The top of Francis A. Byrne Golf Course at 1100 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange. The walk from the parking lot was always a killer, but once you were there it was great…and not very crowded.
2. South Mountain Reservation. Drive along Brookside Dr. between Glen and South Orange Ave. and you will see cars parked along the way. Try to find a spot and grab your toboggan for a glide through a winter wonderland.

3. Cameron Field in Meadowland Park just below North Ridgewood Ave and above South Orange Village. You can park at the top or the bottom of the hill…watch out for people walking up for their next ride as you fly down fast and furious.
