1067.0. "Places to go sledding/sliding around greater Nashua or Northern Mass area..." by DECC::CARLSON () Wed Dec 20 1995 13:54

Hmm, I would have thought there would already be a note for 
this.  If so, I couldn't find it...

Can anyone recommend any nice places to take the kids sliding,
particularly within reasonable distance of ZK?  There's a fair
sized hill off East Dunstable Road, by Roby Park, across the
street from ZK.   I was wondering about any others...

I've also been told there is a nice place off Rt. 495, just past
Lawrence. Here, you pay n dollars, they have a tow back _up_ 
the hill, and at least two hills of varying degrees of difficulty?
Anyone know how to get there, and how crowded it gets?

	Try the NEW_HAMPSHIRE notesfile. Note 49 looks promising.

	yup. 12DOT2::MASSACHUSETTS note 1380 has a little bit too, but not really Northern Mass... I'll bet PARENTING gets more visibility than either NEW_HAMPSHIRE or MASSACHUSETTS... Still looking for Mass ideas, particularly that place off of 495 ...

	I hope this helps a little bit - the place off of 495 is in Amesbury,MA. I don't know which exit to take but it is clearly visible from 495. It's located at a driving range. It looks to me like it's for older kids - the slope is quite steep. But that's just my opinion. Elizabeth

	Lots of people use the Nashua Country Club, right off of Main Street, just past Rivier College. There are several hills, but they are not that steep. They are great for younger kids (my 5 year old is more than happy). I see older kids there, but I don't think the hills would be too thrilling. judy

	We tried the place in Amesbury off 495 a couple years ago, was wicked packed so we did'nt go in. RE: Nashua Country Club, do not settle for the little well used hills you see off S.Main Street. Go to Hole 2 & you will have a good time. Be cautioned that it is a little bit of a walk once you park but well worth it.
1067.6	RT. 101 on the Bedford/Amherst town line	MKOTS1::MCCABE		`Tue Dec 26 1995 20:30`	4
	Route 101 on the Amherst/Bedford town line has a great sledding hill! The site is an old farm.
1067.7	Amherst, NH hill - open? closed?	SUPER::HARRIS		`Wed Jan 03 1996 12:17`	2
	I thought the hill on 101, at the Amherst/Bedford line, was closed this year...
1067.8	A Busy Place This Year Too	CPCOD::JOHNSON	A rare blue and gold afternoon	`Thu Jan 04 1996 10:21`	5
	I had heard rumors last year that the farmer was selling his field, but it must not have happened. Everytime we drive past, the hill has been full of sledders this year. We live very near the hill so go past with fair frequency. Leslie
