Tobogganing is one of the most fun winter activities you can do in Toronto, and the best part is that it’s absolutely free.
Unfortunately, Toronto has cracked down in recent years of which hills sledding is actually permitted, banning it in 45 parks this season. The ban rose due to safety concerns, deeming the only permissible hills were ones without obstacles between the base and the summit.
City officials also stress the need for tobogganers to follow safety guidelines, such as wearing helmets, avoiding loose clothing, and making sure children are supervised.
