There's a map of Boston that points out all the best sledding spots. It seems like there are millions of kids living in other parts around the country that could benefit from a sledding map of their hometown.
Parents in Boston dealing with the snow after an early winter storm can check out a map of the area's best sledding spots created by a group of local mothers, according to an article by Steve Annear.
"Community Kangaroo, a collaborative website that tracks and logs family-friendly activities around the state, has been building a map of some of the best sledding spots in the Boston suburbs for the past few years," according to Annear.
"To date, the team of 18 mothers who contribute to the website has amassed dozens of locations where little ones — or not-so-little ones — can shred some powder. The suggestions are based on input from residents in the communities where each hill can be found and covers a wide swath of places from Boston to Worcester."
