Toboggan Hills in Calgary

When I was looking for great places to Toboggan in Calgary, I was surprised to find out that downhill tobogganing and sledding in Calgary parks is only allowed on designated toboggan hills. There are 17 such hills located throughout Calgary. These hills are large enough to be tons of fun, but are in safe locations free of trees and other obstacles. We haven’t made it out tobogganing much this year. Between my pregnancy and the warm weather we haven’t had a lot of good opportunities. I did write up a profile of three of Calgary’s toboggan hills for Calgary’s Child Magazine which you can access here. They also have some great information on tobogganing safety.

I hope next year to be able to visit some of these toboggan hills and be able to add some pictures as well. But for now, I’d love to hear which toboggan hills your family loves and I’ve listed all the official Calgary toboggan hills below.
