L&M Hill is formally known as Veterans Park. It is located near the First Avenue Bridge. During the winter months, the hill transforms into the favorite sliding spot for most Hibbing residents.
Children tend to build snow jumps at the bottom of the steepest parts of the hill. The jumps can be scary for little ones, but the older ones like to see hoe high they can bounce off of it. Have no fear, one end of the hill is a shorter gradual hill and is perfect for little sledders. It is safe to say it will be enjoyed for many years to come by residents of all ages.
