Don Valley Brick Works Park

An oasis in the middle of a city. Great place to go for a walk, followed by a coffee. The market on Saturday is busy but not chaotic. Good selection of farm fresh food, baked goods for vegans, gluten intolerance and other food preferences. A little expensive, but the norm for these type markets. Okay parking space, but expensive. There is a shuttle bus that runs from Broadview Station which seems to fun quite frequently.

Amazing place to go for a hike in the winter. The trails are very obvious and we'll walked, should be pretty safe for people of all ages. Once you have finished your walk, you can head back to the brickworks and grab a hot chocolate or coffee. Cool view of Toronto city skyline if you venture up the hill.

Don Valley Brick Works Park is an incredible example of how dedication and care can reclaim a former industrial site and transform it into an oasis of nature within the city. The park's trails, ponds and cliffs are pretty and relaxing to walk among. Whether you walk among the vegetation or climb to see the city skyline, it's all here. And Evergreen Brick Works is part of the whole site, where you can enjoy a farmer's market, cafes, art shops, skating, programs, etc. It's a small parking lot though which fills up quickly. But if you bike or walk then you can travel northwards through Moore Park ravine which is lined with some of the oldest and tallest trees in Toronto. If that's too far then Chorley Park is right next to Brick Works Park. (If you go there then I suggest that you Google Chorley Park Government House as an unfortunate example of how this city tends to demolish its own history instead of preserving it as it should.) See you at the Brick Works sometime!

A great trail for feeling nature, however some part of trail has been shut down at the moment. Today, I saw a deer family. Two weeks ago, I saw a tiny turtle baby on the path. 28 buses take to there from Davisville Station. There are shuttle bus to get there(I dun know where the boarding spot)
