Here are our top 3 favourite tobogganing hills in Kelowna’s Kettle Valley!

1. Curlew Park
   Curlew Park is located behind Chute Lake Elementary School and is a popular site for sledding with the local community, as well as the rest of Kelowna! It’s great for kids of all ages and the slope of the hill allows you to pick up some speed on one side of the hill. If you want to take it a bit slower on your sled, you can move over to the other side of the hill for a more relaxed and child-friendly toboggan ride.
    

2. Main Street Park / Compass Park
   The Compass is one of the most iconic landmarks in Kettle Valley and offers great views of the valley and Okanagan Lake. The small hill below the sculpture offers a slope that begins a bit steeper and tapers off into a more gradual incline, making it perfect for young children. As a bonus, the hill is just across the road from the Village Centre, where you can find great food, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea!
    

3. Tulameen Park - Quilchena Park
   Just below Tulameen Park is a slope that leads down to Quilchena Park. This tobogganing hill has a fairly steep grade making it a favourite choice for older children, teens, and adults alike. There are no roads near this Kelowna tobogganing hill, so If you want to pick up a bit of speed, this is the place to do it - just be careful for the trees at the base of the hill and be ready to hike back up to the top when you are done.

As a community that is perched on the mountainside of Kelowna’s Okanagan Mountain, Kettle Valley offers a wide array of slopes that are perfect for tobogganing.
