Well, the snow's all gone for this year, but the toboggan hill is still there. Cone Hill Park is the only park in the area that we know of that has a purpose-built and lighted toboggan hill. The hill is shaped such that it forms somewhat of a bowl, guiding tobogganers to the centre and away from the eastern edge, where the road is. At the bottom is a fairly long run-out area, mitigating encounters with trees or the playground at the far end of the park.
As this is a year round park, with a playground, a basketball court and a large play field, I expect that the kids still put the hill to good use in the summer, gliding down the hill on cardboard sleds.
