Goats and sheep graze in a reservoir at 175th and Governors Highway in Hazel Crest, evoking a lost sledding hill now surrounded by barbed wire and more than a century of flood control efforts.
There aren’t any swimming holes left around here, and if there were, you probably wouldn’t want to swim in them. Instead, our plunging place growing up in the south suburbs took advantage of the opposite season. We had a sledding hole, and it was epic. With steep sides and riddled with nearly invisible obstacles, snowy days would deliver scores of kids to government property along busy 175th Street in Hazel Crest.
Ostensibly part of the shallow and meandering Cherry Creek bed, the reservoir has a water storage capacity of 163 million gallons, Thomas said. It was placed into service in 1976, but is a direct result of planning decisions made decades prior.
