| + | 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! |
