The Roadrunner Picnic Area is great for young sledders! The dunes are steep enough to get some speed yet short enough that you won't go flying off the edge. The picnic area also has two bathrooms and several covered picnic table areas for your family to use. 

This activity can be done throughout the park. One only has to keep these two things in mind; Don’t sled into plants, for they have a tough enough life as it is in the desert. And second, don’t sled into roads, for it might turn into a dangerous situation.

Bring your own sled or purchase one from the gift shop.
