When the snow piles up in the streets, the wonderful city of Rexburg moves the snow to the park. It gets piled on the side of the road on top of what is a small sledding hill to start with. The hill is probably about a 30-40 foot drop. It's great for kids and there's a utility box often used to build a jump. Because it's such a great hill with such a convenient location, it can get a bit crowded at peak sledding times.
I don't believe the added height from the city snow removal doesn't usually occur until the winter celebration in January. There's still a smaller hill there before that though.
