Deadman's Hill Park

This 13 acre park, with its entrance located on south Cedar Street, south of Holt Road, is the center of winter recreation in Delhi Township.  The drastic topography of this site is atypical of the township as a whole.  This topography provides one of the best sledding hills in the area.  At the base of the main hill is a pond, which is cleared for ice skating.
