Where Can I sled in Breckenridge?
Carter Park
The Carter Park sledding hill is free and located just four blocks east of Main Street. It’s a walk-up, slide-down sledding hill that has just the right amount of steepness. Take in amazing views of thew Tenmile mountain range, then head back to town to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa. Parking on-site is limited but bus and lodging shuttles drop-off nearby. Please respect the nearby neighbors of the park, as this is their backyard. Users must avoid others and usage of the Carter Park sledding hill is at your own risk.
Runway Sledding Hill on Fraction Drive

The sledding hill is a walk-up man-made hill that is regularly groomed and has porta potties on site. Usage is not allowed outside the fenced-in area and the building of berms, jumps or other features is prohibited. Skis and snowboards are prohibited.

Where can I get a sled in Breckenridge?
In addition to stores around Summit County, there is also a “sled shed” to take/leave sleds as needed at both Carter Park and Runway sledding hill on Airport Road. We can not guarantee there will be a sled available, so we encourage people to rent and return sleds, rather than buy them for one time use. There are several locations where you can rent a sled:
If you’d like to buy a sled for multiple uses, the City Market grocery store is a great option!
