Original Toronto Star caption: Care to join them? Metro's parks and surrounding hills are shaping up for some fine tobogganing as colder weather moves in to protect what snow has fallen. It's certainly the favorite after-school sport for children near Riverdale Park as toboggans; pieces of cardboard and just plain seats-of-the-pants provide the action. Here; Beverley MacLean (left); 7; Ken Therien; 15; Kevin Pike; 11; and Larry Therien; 11; head down.
