Bring the family, school group, or co-workers to enjoy the icy fun
at Cleveland Metroparks Chalet Toboggan Chutes in
Strongsville.
Winter does not mean groups have to hibernate. The Chalet
Toboggan Chutes offer the perfect place to have club outings,
school & church groups, family get-togethers, non-traditional
business outings, and special events.
The Chalet Recreation Area, including exclusive use of the twin ice
toboggan chutes, is available for private rental during non-public
hours. Popular rental times are early mornings on Saturdays
and Sundays, during evening hours on Sundays through Wednesdays,
and mornings/early afternoons on weekdays (Monday through
Friday).
Semi-private rentals are also available on a limited number of
dates, and are for groups of 30 to 50 people (with a maximum of up
to 5 groups booked each date of the semi-private rentals).
The facility features a main gathering room with a big-screen
television, a concession stand, a loft area with video games, two
fireplaces - indoor and outdoor, and indoor restrooms. Food
buffets for group outings are available for an additional fee,
too.
