Confirmed from Engle Road Sledding Hill's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-friendly park featuring a long and wide hill for sledding and a paved trail, plus a playground.
What runners say about Engle Road Sledding Hill
“A Place to Breathe and Move with Nature Engle Road Hill, beside Lake Isaac, is one of the most peaceful and underrated spots in the Cleveland Metroparks.”
A Place to Breathe and Move with Nature Engle Road Hill, beside Lake Isaac, is one of the most peaceful and underrated spots in the Cleveland Metroparks. While many know it as a sledding hill in winter, I’ve come to appreciate it year-round as a space for Qi Gong, meditation, and grounding movement.
Peaceful and secluded. Easy access to the Lake to Lake trail. Beautiful wildflowers. Lots of birds. I imagine the sledding is great in the winter!
Great place to walk the dog in the summer. I can't wait to check out the park in the winter.
Great sledding spot! Easy to find, sufficient parking, good signage and a perfect hill! Seems to be a popular spot... We were there on a snow day from school and crowds began arriving later in the afternoon.
