Tobogganing in Toronto

No matter where you are in Toronto, there’s a tobogganing hill for you. The hills span from Mississauga to Scarborough, with a select few in the core of the city.

According to the City of Toronto, “We inspect the tobogganing hills throughout the winter. Hills may close if conditions are deemed unsafe for tobogganing. Other hills in Toronto that are not listed on this webpage may be unsafe and may have hazards such as trees, rocks, and stumps, or may lead to rivers or roads.”

Here’s the full list of where you can go:

  • Adams Park: 2 Rozell Rd.
  • Bickford Park: 400 Grace St.
  • Birchmount Park: 95 Birchmount Rd.
  • Bridlewood Park: 445 Huntingwood Dr.
  • Burnett Park: 352 Burnett Ave.
  • Byng Park: 299 Pharmacy Ave.
  • Cedarvale Park: 443 Arlington Ave.
  • Centennial Park: 165 Centennial Park Blvd.
  • Charlottetown Park: 65 Charlottetown Blvd.
  • Corktown Common: 155 Bayview Ave.
  • Cornell Park: 18 Beran Dr.
  • Fairmount Park: 1725 Gerrard St. E.
  • Glendora Park: 201 Glendora Ave.

  • Withrow Park: 725 Logan Ave.

Of course, there are safety measures you should take before venturing off to the hills, such as checking the hill for ice, trees, rocks, bumps, fences, and bare spots, and checking to see that there is plenty of room to stop at the bottom of the hill, away from rivers, roads, or railroads.

Warm gear is a must as well, and make sure you are using a proper sled and not something like a sheet of plastic.

Finally, the city lays out how to toboggan safely:

  • Kneel or sit on your toboggan (do not lie down)
  • Slide down the middle of the hill and climb up the sides
  • Make sure your route is clear before you go down the hill
  • All children should be supervised by an adult
  • Leave any pets at home

Happy tobogganing, Toronto! And be safe.
