Sledding, bobsledding, and tobogganing are all lost to passive users.  Tobogganing was routinely enjoyed with the top of a garbage can, a large piece of cardboard, or a plastic toboggan sled.  Only a one-inch snow cover is needed to enjoy tobogganing.  Indeed, you can’t even build a snowman on artificial turf.  In past decades, numerous snowmen would appear at Ridgeland Common.  Artificial turf, however, doesn’t bend to form a flat surface under the weight of snow.  As a result, rolling a large snow ball encounters two difficulties:  A large amount of friction with the synthetic turf and the actual abrasive effect of the plastic shoots against any snow mass attempting to be rolled along its surface.  Even building a snowman is now an act of the past in Ridgeland Common!
