While we don’t get much snow in the Queen City, we do normally get at least a few inches here and there each winter. This week alone the temperatures have been in the low to mid-20’s which is a sure sign that there might be some snow in our future in the next few months.
When we do get the white, fluffy stuff don’t pass up the rare opportunity to spend a day sledding or tubing. Our favorite place to enjoy the snow is Cordelia Park on North Davidson, and next time it snows you should check it out too!
Cordelia Park is located on North Davidson Street as you head into NoDa from Uptown Charlotte.

Cordelia Park has plenty of long, steep hills that attract sledders and tubers every snowfall.

If you have the right equipment and daredevil attitude, it’s possible to get up to thrilling speeds on the Cordelia Park hills.

The kids will love sledding at this park, too.

Did we mention the park has an amazing view of the Charlotte city skyline?

In addition to snow tubing hills, Cordelia Park also has a great walkway for those who want to enjoy the snow at a slower pace.

And when dusk sets, the view becomes even more beautiful.
