Delighted screams are echoing across Toronto parks.

Kids & parents are taking advantage of the city's first big snowfall since 2011 to break out their toboggans, flying saucers & GTs & head downhill.

At High Park, Michael, dad to Isabella & Max plans to stay out as long as his little ones can stand the cold.  He says it's a chance to create memories he hopes will last until his kids are grown.

A little further west, Newstalk 1010 reporter James Moore tested out the slopes at Swansea Public School.  He got some tips from Cole & borrowed his Krazy Karpet.

Moore says the hill he tackled, some 50 ft tall, was icy & fast.  He was a little banged up after a crash landing & managed to get snow into places Moore says he'd rather not mention.
