“The sledding ban on the hill was implemented after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The publication covered enforcement of the sledding ban last February, when a group of frustrated parents and cherubic kids briefly slid down the hill as protest (above), before being told to leave by Capitol police. According to a report on The Atlantic, the tug of war between children and the government for use of Capitol Hill grounds dates back to a 1875 law intended to ‘to prevent any portion of the Capitol Grounds and terraces from being used as playgrounds or otherwise, so far as may be necessary to protect the public property, turf and grass from destruction or injury.'”
