Best Places To Toboggan In Kitchener Waterloo

Where Can You Go Tobogganing in Kitchener Waterloo?


WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHICH TOBOGGAN HILLS WILL BE OPEN, BUT ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL BY-LAWS.
------------------

Back in the day, there was an abundance of snow and lots of fields in the Kitchener Waterloo area which meant lots of places to toboggan.  Now with our shortened winters and lots of new neighbourhood developments, it seems a little harder to know exactly where those sled hills are.

The first one everyone thinks of is McLennan Park in Kitchener aka Mount Trashmore for those who have lived in Kitchener before its revamping. Here's a video of my former co-workers tobogganing at McLennan Park back in 2010




I remember when I was young spending a lot of time going down the hill at Gzowski Park in Kitchener although I recall that park has changed over the years as well with the addition of the Victoria Hills Community Centre.  Near by there is my Elementary School A.R. Kaufman that had a hill by the soccer field.

If you're willing to spend some cash for a day of downhill tobogganing, there's Chicopee Tube Park, where unlike Miley Cyrus it's NOT about the climb. Always check their website for the their opening date.

In Waterloo, Columbia Lake field by the soccer pitch is a great spot!

I know there have to be more great places to toboggan in the Kitchener Waterloo area, so I "group-sourced" from our Stuff To Do Facebook Group for some additional places to go tobogganing.

Diane M. mentioned  Mackenzie King School
Melissa Y added Rockway Public School
Alicia L said Howard Roberston School
Valerie T messaged Dickson Park Cambridge
Robin H and Kellie C said Medowlane School
Patrick M tweeted Waterloo Park Near Pavillions/Father David Bauer Entrance
Jaymis G posted Westvale Park and Lakeside Park
Deidre Llet us know about Bechtel Park
April R suggested Grand Valley Golf Course in Doon
Krystna T said  Cambridge - Churchill Park and Elgin Street at Munch behind the school
Barry V mentioned Stanely Park Community Centre

Let's grow this list! I'm sure there are plenty of other places to bust out your GT Snowracer, Flying Saucer, Crazy Carpet, Wood Toboggan, or other sleds.  Leave your favorite Region Of Waterloo toboggan hill in the comments to keep this list growing!

  7. Cameron Heights school for bigger kids/teens (steep and various heights);
    Knollwood Park (Sheppard school) for kids under 10 - not worth driving far to reach, but good for the neighbourhood
