Parks, trails and off-leash areas
Spruce Grove has many parks, trails and off-leash areas that are ready to be explored.
Tobogganing areas
Downhill fun! Bring your family and friends for a day of free fun on a local hill. These hills are inspected and maintained by City staff and are recommended for sledding.
When tobogganing or sledding:
- Teach children to kneel or sit on their toboggan.
- Make sure the route is clear before going down a hill. Remember the people below you have the right-of-way.
- Once you reach the bottom, quickly move out of the way.
- Remember to slide down the middle of the hill and climb up the side while watching for sledders on their way down.
- Always stay in control of your sled.
