Sliding
The locals have two favourite locations for some fun on the toboggans and crazy carpets.
Lily Lake at Rockwood Park
A nicely sloped hill above the lake and next to the Lily Lake Pavilion. Warm up with a hot chocolate and snacks next to the fireplace in Lily's Café next door.
Saint John Airport
Loch Lomond Road (East)
Just outside the airport. This is the best kept secret for winter enthusiasts. If you love to slip, slide and tumble in the snow, this is the hill for hours of winter fun.
