About the event
🌿🚶 LEASIDE SPUR TRAIL, WILKET CREEK & EDWARDS GARDENS WALK (10KM) 🚶🌿
Forest Trails, Flowing Creeks & A Spring Garden Pause Some of the best parts of Toronto don’t feel like the city at all. Join us for a longer, energizing social walk through some of the city’s most scenic green spaces — from quiet trails to winding creeks, with a beautiful stop at the gardens along the way.
We’ll explore the Leaside Spur Trail, connect into the peaceful paths of Wilket Creek Park, and make our way toward Edwards Gardens — where you’ll have time to wander, take in the seasonal blooms, and enjoy a little moment of calm in the middle of the walk. This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social, active walk with great scenery and even better company.

🚶♂️ What We’ll Do
We’ll begin at McDonald’s and head onto the Leaside Spur Trail, easing into the walk before connecting with Wilket Creek’s forested paths. From there, we’ll continue toward Sunnybrook Park and into Edwards Gardens, where we’ll take a relaxed break so you can explore, enjoy the flowers, and recharge. After our stop, we’ll loop back along the trails, returning to our starting point.
Once we’re back, those who want can grab an ice cream at D Spot Desserts for a well-earned creamy dessert. 🥪 No pressure to join — totally optional.

🌦️ Weather & Expectations
This walk will happen in typical Toronto conditions — including cold, light rian, or damp trails. Please come prepared for a full 10KM walk with some hills. Good footwear is essential. . Also — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. I’ll share bits along the way, but the focus is on movement, nature, and connection.
