Everyone is encouraged to have a great time throughout the winter months. As we all know, the colder weather usually make conditions unpredictable and thus we would like to remind all residents to please be prudent and take the necessary precautions to be safe on our Hampstead hills. The following tips are suggestions that will help you to enjoy the winter activities in a safer way and help to prevent injuries:
- Adults should always supervise children while they are tobogganing
- Always climb the hill along the sides to avoid collisions (please use the path created for this purpose)
- Ensure that the hill is safe; no bald spots, no rocks, no ice
- Please wear a fitted helmet while sledding; strongly suggested for all those under the age of 12
- DO NOT slide down head first
- Use a sled that can steer
- Where warm, layered clothing to protect yourself from the cold and potential injuries.
- Do not wear loose fitting items that can get pulled, stuck or grabbed. Example a scarf that is not tucked in.
STAY SAFE AND HAVE FUN!
