FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

March 5, 2024

Hyde Memorial State Park sled hill closed for the season

SANTA FE - New Mexico State Parks, a Division of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), announces that, effective immediately, the sled hill is now closed at Hyde Memorial State Park in Santa Fe.

State Parks is instituting this closure because warming temperatures have melted the snow to the point that it is no longer safe for the public to use the sled hill. For more information about Hyde Memorial State Park, call 505-983-7175 or visit www.emnrd.nm.gov/spd/ and click on Find a Park.

Ready for warmer weather? Reserve your camping space up to six months in advance at any of your 35 New Mexico State Parks through reserveamerica.com !

Without additional snowfall the sled hill is not safe, and mud is forming at the bottom of the hill.
