It’s a lovely corner in downtown Toronto with local shops, food tents, lovely hiking trail, bike trail, little pond with ducks and geese, and overall a lot of greenery. It is pretty beginner friendly has patches for advanced hikers too. The local shops here have some really cool, albeit a little expensive items for home. We got some fridge magnets, honey, ground coffee and also some hot chocolate...

Came here to celebrate and anniversary, and adored this place. Brickworks has so much going on; the staff, shops and food are lovely. There were a lot of plants, flowers, bulbs, and seeds for sale which I'm looking forward to getting more of soon! Missed the weekend market but hope to catch another one.

Enjoyed my visit. Plenty of walking trails Took a detour off the main trails. There were some challenging climbs and descents. Was supposed to do the free Nature tour but the tour guide did not show up. Did the historical tour instead which was nice. The volunteer tour guide was quite knowledgeable. Would visit again. Take note that parking is $10. Easier to download the app and pay there.

Gorgeous park, I love the free tours of the kilns and the nature reserve/reclamation area! I’ve been twice since moving to Toronto and have loved it both times. It’s great to pack a little picnic and have a hike in the city, or to buy a little snack from the cafe!

Lots of open space for kids to run around, there was also an indoor skateboarding class for kids. For sure the kids will have a lo...
