Tobogganing Fridays
Every Friday, from November 6 to December 18, children and caregivers are invited to join us for sledding and hot chocolate at Shipyards Park. Parks staff will be serving up hot chocolate and a lot of fun!
The Frank Slim Building will also be open, and families are invited to join us inside to play or colour.
This is a free family-friendly event, so grab a sled and join friends and neighbours for an afternoon of sledding, hot chocolate, and a warm fire.
Guardian supervision is required. Kids 5 and under should have a responsible adult with them on the sled.
Weekly events are weather-dependant. Keep an eye on the City’s social media channels for the latest information.
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 a 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.
Contact our Parks team at parks@whitehorse.ca if you have any questions.
