Location: Access off of Mount Pleasant Rd., south of St. Clair Ave. E.
Date photo taken: 19 Sep 2013Itching for the great outdoors but can't afford the time or expense of a cottage getaway? Why not spend some time exploring some of Toronto's parks? This descent into greenery is an access point for David A. Balfour Park, a 20.5 hectare park running roughly north to south along Yellow Creek, near Yonge and St. Clair. In addition to a number of wooded trails, the park also includes the large grassy expanse of the Rosehill Reservoir and if you follow the main trail to the south it leads you to Craigleigh Gardens, a gated garden space. The park is easily accessed by transit, and if you decide you want to keep on hiking, you can easily turn your stroll into a longer circuit by adding the Beltline Trail through Evergreen Brick Works, Moore Park Ravine and Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
