Dollhouse, Woodbine Park, Smalls Creek & Monarch Park (10.5 KM) (8/31/2024)

So, I learned recently that Leslieville's infamous dollhouse has been put on the market.
I've never checked it out, so I figured today would be my day to do so.

This 10.5 KM hike will start at Chester Station and end at Greenwood Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved park paths and single track dirt trail, with a bit of grass walkin'.

In terms of hills, there should be just one long staircase of about 25 meters.

I'll stop for a washroom break at a Tim Hortons, located about 4.5 KM into the hike.
If anyone needs to go in the beginning, I can stop about 1 KM into the hike as well, no probs.

For those unfamiliar with how I lead my hikes.

• If you see me walking at a certain pace, you don’t have to walk at the same pace as me (I like to talk to different people on a hike, so I walk I different paces)
• If you’d like to walk faster than me, that’s cool, if you like to walk slower than me, that’s cool too
• We’ll meet up as a group when we take a major turn, cross a major intersection or if I think the group is getting too far separated.
• We’ll do a water break, breather and sure everyone is aliver
• I have two requests:
  1. If you choose to walk in front of me and you don’t know where you’re going, please stop and wait as I an’t going to chase after you.
  2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.

Chester Subway Station is located on the Bloor/Danforth subway line. The Station is located 4 stops east of the Yonge line.
We'll meet outside the west station entrance. The one with the collectors booth.
If its raining, then I'll just be inside the station doors.

For those of you driving, Chester Station is located north of the intersection of Chester & Danforth. Address is 22 Chester Avenue.

In terms of parking, there's a parking lot, across the street from the main station entrance.
