Where To Go Sledding In Harlem This Week

HARLEM, NY — There's good news for Harlem families looking to get outside and enjoy the roughly 10 inches of snow that was dumped on New York City overnight.

The Parks Department has a list of the best places to go sledding across the five boroughs — and the Manhattan list includes two parks in Harlem.

The two locations are Morningside Park and St. Nicholas Park, both of which feature big, sloping hills perfect for sledding down.

For Morningside Park, the department recommends three different sledding spots: at the southern end near 110th Street; a few blocks up at 113th Street and Morningside Avenue; and toward the middle of the park at 122nd Street and Morningside Avenue.

In St. Nicholas Park, the city recommends the giant lawn behind the 135th Street Plaza. That's the same lawn that was recently renamed in honor of James Baldwin.

This week's storm put more snow on New York's streets than all of last winter, according to the National Weather Service.

A winter storm warning remains in effect Thursday until 1 p.m. The National Weather Service warned of continued heavy snow bringing another 1 to 2 inches, although New York City likely will receive less.
