While you might not be able to see any of the beautiful plants or flowers Queen Elizabeth has to offer because of the snow, there are plenty of hills that make for great sledding. Just be careful of potential traffic near some of the hills.

China Creek North Park

Located just off of Great Northern Way near Clark Drive, China Creek North Park is neatly tucked away, meaning potentially less competition.
There’s also China Creek South Park, but it’s not as good for sledding.
Where: 1001 East 7th Avenue, Vancouver
Burnaby
Burnaby Mountain
You can’t have a conversation about sledding without including Burnaby Mountain in the mix. However, full disclosure, the City of Burnaby strongly advises against this as the “steep slopes produce conditions for people to pick up high speeds and obstacles such as rocks and trees create unsafe conditions for tobogganing and sledding.”
Where: 100 Centennial Way, Burnaby
Ron McLean Park

Ron McLean Park is a community park with tons of sporting amenities. Unfortunately, most of those amenities, like courts and fields, are covered in snow.
That snow makes for a great park for sledding. Just avoid skating on the ice as it’s not permitted.
Where: 7820 Hedley Avenue, Burnaby
Robert Burnaby Park
Robert Burnaby, the man that the city was named after, has a park named after him as well. When it snows, Robert Burnaby Park has some excellent spots to get your thrills on a sled.
Where: 8155 Wedgewood Street, Burnaby
New Westminster
Queen’s Park

Queen’s Park in New West is quite large and not as populated as some of the other parks when it comes to sledding in Metro Vancouver.
Where: 3rd Avenue, New Westminster
Surrey

For what it’s worth, some have taken to Google reviews to call Unwin Park the best hill in Surrey for sledding in the winter.
Where: 13313 68th Avenue, Surrey
Delta
Diefenbaker Park
While it’s beautiful in the summer, Diefenbaker Park boasts steep hills that are perfect for sledding in the winter.
Where: 5575 1st Avenue, Delta
