The sledding hill will be located within an area that includes a skating trail and pond, with the hill’s slope, beginning at a height of 45 feet, serving as a roof over two buildings. The skating trail will wind underneath the structure and connect to an open skating area. Ice making, snowmaking and grooming equipment will ensure an extended tubing and skating season in the park. In warmer months, the hill’s sloped green space will provide a unique area for numerous activities.

In addition to the sledding hill and skating rink, Packers officials say the four other components of phase one in Titletown’s park will include a plaza, an activity area, a playground and a sports field.

In total, the sledding hill’s tubing lanes will stretch 300 feet from start to finish. Two buildings will provide the slope for the hill, with the main building housing a warming lodge and snack bar on the ground level and event space on the second level. A second building will contain skate and tube rental operations. The total skating surface area, including the trail and pond area, is 14,200 square feet, nearly the size of a hockey rink.
