Before heading out for a day of sledding, do a quick check over on the City of Edmonton website for updates on tobogganing hill conditions.
Emily Murphy Park Hill
11624 Saskatchewan Drive NW
Located along the North Saskatchewan River near the perimeter of the University of Alberta, the steep run eventually evens out at the bottom, making for a smooth landing. The park is also equipped with firepits, bathrooms, and a playground.
(Note: With Hawrelak Park being closed, trails from Emily Murphy Park to Hawrelak Park may be detoured.)
Gallagher Park
9505 96 Avenue NW
Gallagher Park is located just beside the Muttart Conservatory. Not only is this hill massive, but it also comes complete with a stunning view of the downtown skyline. It requires a bit of a trek to get to the top of the hill, but it’s well worth the effort!
Government House Park
9938 Groat Road NW
From the north side of the North Saskatchewan River, Government House Park Hill gives a fantastic view of MacKinnon Ravine. This hill offers an exhilarating run perfect for thrill seekers. Plus, did you know that scenes from the movie Snow Day starring Chevy Chase were filmed here?
Queen Elizabeth Park
10380 Queen Elizabeth Park Road
Queen Elizabeth Park is a hot spot for Edmontonians. With a beautiful view of the city and the Walterdale Bridge and access to several river valley trails, Queen Elizabeth Park is a great spot for an afternoon of sledding. Make sure to explore the trails after and check out the nearby artwork at ᐄᓃᐤ (ÎNÎW) River Lot 11∞ Indigenous Art Park!
Rundle Park ACT Hill
2903 113 Avenue
This hill is located in picturesque Rundle Park, on the northeast side of the city. There’s a clearly marked area to the left of the hill where you can climb up – an important feature that reduces the risk of collisions! To make a full day of winter fun, bring skates as well so you can glide through the park’s iceway!
Rundle Park Walton’s Mountain
2903 113 Avenue
Also at Rundle Park, Walton’s Mountain offers a steeper option for older kids or adults looking for the thrill of a big hill. We recommend starting out at Act Hill, then making your way to Walton’s Mountain to finish off your day with a hit of adrenaline!
Whitemud Park North
13204 Fox Drive NW
This medium-sized run has stairs on the side that lead to the top, which helps you avoid the other sledders zipping down the hill. There’s also a large washroom building at the bottom of the hill which can be used as a changeroom.
