Tobogganing Fridays
Dec 20, 2024 04:00 PM
Shipyards Park
Every Friday, from November 15 to March 14, children and caregivers are invited to join us for sledding and hot chocolate at Shipyards Park. We’ll be there from 4 to 6 pm. We hope to see you too!
Bring your sleds! We’ll have a few sleds for those who don’t have access to one.
Guardian supervision is required at all times. Kids 5 and under should have a responsible adult with them on the sled. Cancelled if -20 or colder. Brr!
Staying Safe
• Go down the hill sitting up or kneeling on the sled. Don’t go down the hill head first or flat on your back. It’s much easier to hurt your head or spine in these positions.
• When you get to the bottom of the hill, move quickly out of the way, and walk up the side of the hill away from others.
Gear and Clothing
• Check your sled to make sure it’s in good shape before you use it.
• Dress in warm layers including; mittens instead of gloves; warm, dry, waterproof boots that aren’t too tight; a neck warmer instead of scarf; clothes without drawstrings and a hat that keeps ears covered.
• Wear a helmet (hockey, ski, or snowboard type). If possible, wear a ski helmet because they’re made for cold weather and for similar falls and speeds.
