    Cool spot to visit then keep walking north! Not many realize but this path will take you up to the airport and a bit past, while follow my a beautiful creek with shale rock cliffs on other side. The city has been doing improvements over the years to make it a more enjoyable hike! Enjoy! If you liked this review let me know and hit “like” 👍

    If you like moving your joyfully legs in natural surroundings, here you go, park in the beautiful valley, waiting for you to be discovered. Used mostly by locals and they canines, regular joggers and parents with children. The paved pathway is following the creekside and is a part of Etobicoke Creek Trail that cud take you spontaneously south as far far away as Marie Curtis Park and north to Caledon hills. Imagine that! Definitely worth the effort.

    Beautiful trail and park. If you park off of Horner you will be in for a big hill to go down and back up. This is a very busy park for walkers and bikers so be aware of your surroundings.

    This is such an interesting place to go for a cycle, a walk with a dog, or leisurely stroll along a forested path that follows Etobicoke Creek. I love coming here during the week when it's extremely quiet and you might be able to see some pretty interesting birds if you keep your eyes open.

    A great place for a walk! Follow the paved path, or try some of the "off road" paths in the wooded areas... you never know what you'll see (we saw deer.) A walk down to the lake and back is about an hour and we'll worth the trip.

    A hidden gem in Etobicoke! You can hear the QEW when you are closer to Evans Ave. As you head south toward the lake nature seems to take over! The Creek is always moving and boasts some fascinating walls of erosion, falls, and babbles over rocks in other places.

    Nice park with the river, associated with greeneries & stream, provides an ambience of tranquility, peacefullness & mediation, while the park is traced by nature-lovers & pet dogs.

    Beautiful trail, well maintained! Headed towards the lake, the view was beautiful!! Great surprises along the way as well. Trail connects to the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail.

    The trees are lush and mature in this valley. Much of the walk will have you protected by the tree canopy with the creek drowning out the regular city noises. When you emerge from the trees you can see a sky free from buildings and other reminders of civilization.

    One of my favourite leisure trails, walking next to a stream is such a wonderful thing for your mind and body, it uplifts your mood and spirits and this place is such a beauty!

    This place is a little hidden gem in the bustling city. It's a part of the Ontario greenbelt and as you would expect, it is teeming with life! Lots of wild plants, berries to eat, a constantly flowing brook give a serene sound and feel and tons of birds for the watchers. There is a small park for the kids to play. Your little ones will enjoy the outdoors space, fresh air and the playscape, established paved walkways good for walking, but you'll see lots of runners and bikes as well. At one end of park there is a well cared for baseball diamond and large open field for football/soccer or whatever sports you enjoy. At the other end, the trails terminate into the beautiful Marie Curtis Park (and beach).

    Woods that transport you to back country while you are still in the city. A short walk away from the Long Branch Go station, the creek has lots of birds, squirrels, thick vegetation and this winter (2019) a deer family. You could spot the occasional cayote, but still safe to walk/run/bike. With fresh air and the sound of the water gushing down, this area makes for a relaxing walk/run. The water is clear and a favorite among people who like to do angling. You will find families riding their bikes, athletes practicing for their runs and hobbyists looking for birds. As you walk up north of the creek you get to a clearing close to 401 with a baseball pitch. On your walk south you will get to Marie Curtis Park and Lake Ontario. Either direction is pretty and you can enjoy this path cum trail all through the year. During winter be cautious of ice/snow while you venture out.

    Truly a hidden gem, I've been in this area for a while and never been here until recently . Really gives you the feeling like you're not in the city but you are. I highly recommend coming to this path that runs along the Etobicoke Creek.

    A most relaxing place. Has a small waterfall/dam. Is very green. A great place for a nice summer picnic.

  • 4/5 dee p. 2 years ago on Google
    My family loves this walk and right now with the fall colours it's just breathtaking

  • 4/5 The T. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful and peaceful walk along the Etobicoke Creek. Mostly flat and fully paved. Lots of unpaved side trails. Be careful of speeding bicycles on weekends. During the weekday the trail is not busy. Trail closed at the top where it meets the QEW but the improved underpass should be open again later in fall 2022.

  • 5/5 Aidan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to hang out with friends or just sit by the river and contemplate life. Perfect for rock skipping and existential crises. Jokes aside, I have a lot of good memories here. One of my favorite places to chill and listen to music. Great views too!

  • 5/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful park for a quick walk. The Etobicoke Creek trail that passes through this park has an extensive wooded area that makes you forget you forget you're still in the city. A good amount of unofficial hiking paths (for a city park) that takes you into the forested areas if you have the footwear.

👍👍 Very peaceful place to be in even for just awhile.. especially for non Hindu people who doesn’t have a clue..(like me!) Most of the history of this place, one will find on YouTube since it’s very difficult to explain in my simple language. I know for sure that the materials they used to build this...
