Toboggan Slide Opens at Whitnall Park

If you want a snow/sledding experience you'll long remember or something that will give the kids a real thrill then don't miss the iced-track toboggan slide opening this Saturday, Dec. 19 at Whitnall Park, 6700 S. 92nd Street,  at noon until 8pm.  (Only $7 bucks an hour to rent a toboggan- a steal of a deal) I had the pleasure of trying it out in my youth (many moons ago) and I remember it vividly.  It was very fast  seated tight  to the ground on a toboggan with metal runners.  The ride is always fun with more people and it sent us on a 1/4 mile shoot down an iced raceway.  Dress warmly of course and watch out for a cake of snow on the moosh (slang for face).  I recommend to arrive early as possible. It will also be open Sunday, Dec. 20 from noon to 6pm.  For complete schedule go to countyparks.com.  Hang on and scream!
