There's good news for families in the City of Kitchener.
On Tuesday, it was announced that two tobogganing hills have reopened.
One is at McLennan Park, while the other is at Hillside Park.
Early Wednesday morning, the city announced via Twitter that the hill at Foxglove Park is also open.
In all three settings, there will be a number of rules in place, including the need for physical distancing.
You can see full tips from the city below.
– Only toboggan on recognized areas, and make sure there’s nothing blocking your path down the hill
– Toboggans can move around on a slope and you will not always make it straight down the hill, so remember to check for obstacles on both the left and right sides of the areas you are planning to go down
– Wait for other users to clear the hill before you start your descent
– Use recognized lanes outside of the toboggan hill to return to the top
– Clear the bottom of the hill promptly to allow the next person to start their run
– Only have one person tobogganing on a run at a time
– You don’t need to start at the top. Find a point of the hill you are comfortable with starting from. The lower down the hill, the more control you’ll have over your speed
– Know where you are and carry a cell phone in case there’s an accident
– Hills will be closed when conditions are not appropriate for tobogganing. Please read and adhere to the signage provided at these locations
