  A great place to exercise, via stairs. Severely disappointing regarding winter recreation. This seems to be a consensus with the regulars. One woman said kids were turned away after our first good snow a few days ago. While signage indicates a sledding hill, it never seems to be open to the public as such. I was turned away abruptly for snowboarding. I was alone on the hill but was told I was a liability. The sign clearly states "at visitor's own risk." Isn't that enough to clear liabilities? If not, make people sign waivers or STOP CALLING IT A SLEDDING HILL! What's next, closing the stairs for fear of someone twisting an ankle!? I spoke with the employees and someone in a Forest Preserve truck about the sign. The sign states ”Snowboarding is allowed on designated hill only." However, that is the only hill there! The employees themselves were even confused over the wording! The person in the truck stated the snowboarding hill is in (drum roll) Calumet. How would anybody know that!? Moreso, why would anyone drive all the way to Calumet when we have a perfectly fine sledding hill right here!? It is ludicrous and a shame that such a beautiful spot be overregulated rather than used.
