It has come to the attention of Somerton residents that there will no longer be sledding allowed at Trainer's Hill for fear of possible litigation and lawsuits resulting from injuries sustained on the grounds.
What we ask is, that instead of depriving the children of Somerton the indescribable joy of a winter's day on Trainer's Hill, let us come to some agreement about how we can allow this tradition to live on. Whether we raise funds to purchase signage that tells sledders they do so at their own rise, or if we can recruit a few volunteers to act as snow monitors on the few precious days of the year that we can sled. I am positive we can reach an agreement that doesn't result in closing off the experience for children of generations to come.
I ask you to please sign our petition to keep the spirit of joy and wonder alive on the snowy hills of Trainer's Pond. Also-- if you have a story, a photo or anything you would like to share to express the importance of this neighborhood tradition, please do so at our Facebook page:
