Oshawa designates two safe tobogganing areas

Knights of Columbus Park and Grandview Village Park would have designated areas for tobogganing and sledding, according to the City of Oshawa.

The two sanctioned tobogganing areas would be inspected and maintained for safe community use, said a city statement.

A Durham Municipal Insurance Pool Risk Assessment of Toboggan Hills, Report CO-23-05 recommends that the city provide two sanctioned tobogganing areas. The report included a risk assessment of toboggan hills located within municipalities across the Region of Durham.

The city said it intends to post signage at other hills on city-owned lands indicating “Unsanctioned Hill, this Hill is not inspected or maintained for Tobogganing”. Additionally, city staff will continue to review opportunities where feasible to increase the number of sanctioned tobogganing areas within city parks, said the statement.

The next step is for Report CO-23-05 to be considered by Oshawa City Council at its next meeting on Monday, January 30.
