    This site gives you a gorgeous view of both the city and the Evergreem Brickworks. It's a bit of a hike, a good way to get some exercise, and the view is well worth it.

    Just a short walk down the trail from the brick works park lookout is the governors monument where you can enjoy some really great views of the valley and former quarry that serviced the brick works as well as the city sky line views. It's a fairly easy walk up the slope for ppl of all ages and skill level. Nice area to enjoy the beautiful fall colours currently.

    It was good. Though not a perfect skyline view that I was hoping but one should visit. Silent, calm. Not much place though if it gets crowded. They have a two mini binoculars for good views. Worth it.

    It's good but not the perfect view, new buildings are in view of CN tower, which ruined it for me, nonetheless it's a great walk and beautiful scenery! IG: Moody.Clx for more!

    An amazing view over the Don Valley. To get here, you must go around to the backside of all the main building at Evergreen Brickworks and the trail start is to the east. Follow the paved trail up the steep hill (difficult for bikes) and then follow the gravel path at the top. Truly worth the climb
