For many years, the hill at the north end of the park, about 80 yards west of Garfield Drive, was the place to go for sledding if you lived on the Southside. Sledders have since also ventured deeper into the park and used the hill behind the pagoda, between the arts center and amphitheater.
And whether the location are the hills at the north end of Conservatory Drive, as shown in the first three photos below, or behind the pagoda, as shown in the final trio of images, many a child who lived in the neighborhood experienced their first slide down a hill on a sled in Garfield Park.
