Itinerary:

So, I'm excited as have a massage today, but I think I can squeeze in a short hike in the area before it starts.

This 7 KM hike will both start and finish at Lawrence Subway Station.

PACE: We'll aim for a pace of 4- 5 km/h

This hike will be on a combination of paved sidewalks, single track dirt trails and wide park paths.

In terms of hills, there are about 4 climbs of about 25 meters.

Sadly, this time of the year, the public washrooms in the park are closed.
However, I would recommend using the one in the City Market, located beside the subway station.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.

    Event Directions:

    Lawrence Subway Station is located on the Yonge Subway Line, two stops south of Sheppard and 6 Stations north of Bloor.

    We'll meet on the North-West corner of Yonge St and Lawrence Ave, right beside the City Market. If its cold or wet, I'll be just inside the station doors.

    For those of you driving, the address for Lawrence Station is 3101 Yonge St.
    In terms of parking, there's a Green P parking lot located at 23 Bedford Park Ave, which is located just one block north of Lawrence, west of Yonge Street.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt.
