Where Can You Go Tobogganing in Kitchener Waterloo?
------------------
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.

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!

Meadowlane P.S. in Forest Heights
ReplyDeleteThere is still a very decent hill behind the Victoria Hills Community Centre. Always a busy spot for tobogganing.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone let me know about a good spot in Ayr? We have recently moved here. Thanx:)
ReplyDeleteCameron High School has a good one that we always go to.
ReplyDeleteSJAM has a good hill that is very popular
ReplyDeleteLackner Woods Public School has a decent hill around back.
ReplyDeleteSt. Timothy's
ReplyDeleteCameron Heights school for bigger kids/teens (steep and various heights);
ReplyDeleteKnollwood Park (Sheppard school) for kids under 10 - not worth driving far to reach, but good for the neighbourhood
We went to John A Macdonald yesterday, it had some great runs for elementary sized kids.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Kitchener for a couple of years. Didn't know there were so many good places to toboggan.
