A new sledding hill is being offered to residents in North Grenville.
The municipality announced the addition of sledding hill Thursday, in collaboration with the Ferguson Forest Centre.
Mayor Nancy Peckford says council is happy with the addition of an outdoor activity people can enjoy without leaving town.
“The need for safe, outdoor recreational activities for families is even greater during the pandemic, and we thank Ferguson Forest Centre for offering such a wonderful space,” Peckford said.
The hill has rules posted which follow Ontario health guidelines and experts agree tobogganing is a safe and health family oriented outdoor activity.
Participants are asked to follow the rules posted on site as well as public health guidelines, including maintaining physical distancing from those outside of your household.
You can also enjoy the Centre’s off-leash dog park, its many trails and park areas, as well as the arboretum.
“Having this new facility to expand outdoor recreation for families in our community is a welcome asset – and very important to our well-being. I appreciate the work of the FFC and the Municipality of North Grenville for their collaborative effort,” Parks, Recreation and Culture Liaison and municipal councillor Doreen O’Sullivan said.
The toboggan hill is at the Arboretum in the Centre at 241 Honour Way and is open daily to the public from 8 a.m. to dusk, weather permitting.
You can find parking at the dog park.
