Join us for a local hike through the urban marvel that is Tommy Thompson Park, led by our expert guide and field naturalist, Bryan.
Tommy Thompson is one of the most unique but overlooked areas of Toronto, a 5km long peninsula created from construction waste dumped into Lake Ontario that has turned into a surreal nature reserve.
You have some of the best views of the city on one side and of the Scarborough Bluffs and Pickering on the other. There's wildlife all around and it's an important bird nesting location. Which makes it all the more weird that beyond the wild plants, you see that you're walking on concrete, tiles and steel rebar.
Bryan will lead an easy hike of up to 8km, adapting to the day's conditions. Hiking with Bryan is an experience that opens your eyes to the beauty of things we'd ordinarily overlook as he points out trees, flowers and animal tracks, giving you a totally new way of looking at familiar places.
This adventure is fully accessible by TTC but dogs are not allowed in the park so your pup will have to sit this one out.
