Tobogganing in the west side of Christie Pits Park. When the weather is just right and there's plenty of snow on the ground, there are a number of places you can go tobogganing and sledding.  To view these using a google maps interface, visit TobogganHills.com .

Tobogganing and Sledding Safety Tips

  • Before you head out, check the weather conditions to ensure it is safe as weather will affect the hill conditions (i.e. free of ice, not too cold, etc.).
  • Sled during the day, or on a well-lit hill at night (most injuries occur when lighting is poor).
  • Watch for signs at the hills to let you know if it is safe to toboggan there, and what the potential safety hazards may be.
  • When tobogganing, it is important to wear a helmet. A certified skiing/snowboarding or hockey helmet will do.
  • Pick a hill that has plenty of room to stop at the bottom, and has a safe place to walk back up the hill (away from people sliding down the hill).
  • Choose a sled/toboggan that is easy to control (avoid inner tubes, crazy carpets, flying saucers, garbage bags, snow racers, and cardboard boxes as they are hard to control).
