Birchwood Park Toboggan Hill

Подробнее о видео

The video was shot in 2015 and 2021 at Birchwood Park Toboggan Hill aka Kentucky Hill in Mississauga, Ontario. The hill was named after the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Restaurant on Lakeshore Rd. W., which used to be located next to the hill.

Before 1967, there was no hill at this place. Then thousands of tons of Pennsylvania bituminous coal fly ash from the Lakeview Generating Station were dumped there between 1967 and 1974. They formed a huge hill. In 1974, the city of Mississauga took over the ownership of the site and installed the vegetative cover. The place is now known as Birchwood Park. The 15 hectares (about 40 acres) park with the tobogganing hill has over 170 m (550 ft) sloped path with a 20 m elevation from the lowest to the highest point of the hill. In summer, the hill is good for flying kites.

Grab your snow racers, sleds, or toboggans and hit the hill! Every kid likes it.

Катаемся с горки на санках, лыжах и снегокатах с холма, который насыпан из отходов (золы и шлака) находящейся неподалеку электростанции. Теперь она закрыта, а холм рекультивирован и покрыт травой и кустарником. Длина "трассы" для катания 170 м, высота подъема 20 м. Летом на холме можно запускать воздушных змеев.
