The Parks We Love to Hike!
These are the gorgeous community parks that provide the scenic backdrop for our hikes.
Marie Curtis ParkETOBICOKE/MISSISSAUGA
Situated on the border of Etobicoke and Mississauga on Lakeshore Blvd West and Brown's Line. This park offers a beach, an amazing wilderness trail and a waterfall! This park is the usual location for our summer hikes as it is well shaded with plenty of trees and the trail follows along the creek with great access points for the dogs to cool down! A great escape to paradise in this 'country within a city' http://www.ontariotrails.on.ca/trails-a-z/marie-curtis-park-trail FREE PARKING: YES TTC ACCESABE: YES |
Colonel Samuel Smith ParkETOBICOKE
Right at the corner of Lakeshore Blvd West and Kipling Avenue in Etobicoke, this park is an open field of trails along the shoreline! This park is the backdrop for most of our winter hikes as the trails are maintained, making them enjoyable year round! Formerly the location of the the Mimico Insane Assylum and now home to Humber College, this park offers a little mystery with some great scenery! Given it's rich history, this park is also the location for our ZOMBIE DOG WALK each October http://toronto.about.com/od/parks/ss/sam-smith-park.htm FREE PARKING: YES - and street parking.
