Itinerary:
We will meet at the corner of Queen St E and Nursewookd Rd (the Neville Park look is the EAST end of the long branch streetcar route: 2509 Queen St E), just one block before Victoria Park. We will try to follow this itinerary:

  • Explore the exterior of R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant
  • Follow the walkway west at Balmy Beach
  • Cross the Beaches Park
  • Explore the Woodbine Beach Bay Park
  • Take Lake Shore Blvd and turn in Lesley
  • Explore the Tommy Thompson Park (internal loop)
  • End at Queen and Leslie
Please notice that we have different starting and ending points.

Have a good breakfast before coming or pack snacks, there will NOT be coffee/lunch breaks.

The expected walking speed will be at minimum of 4km/hr (this is NOT a slow walk). We are in the city, and the trail conditions are easier than the forest, so we can achieve a faster pace. Consider this hike as an advance D3 or as a beginner D4.
