🌿🛍️ DOWNSVIEW PARK WALK & MARKET HANGOUT 🛍️🌿
Open Space, Fresh Air & A Market to Explore Together
Sometimes the best way to discover a place… is just to go and see what you find.
This is a brand new walk — the first time we’re doing it — and that’s part of the fun.

Join us for a relaxed social walk through Downsview Park, one of the largest urban parks in the city. Wide open spaces, walking paths, and a completely different feel from downtown — it’s the kind of place where you can actually breathe a little deeper.
After our walk, we’ll head over to explore the Downsview Park Merchants Market, where we can wander, browse, and find something to eat together.

This is not a formal tour.
It’s a casual, exploratory outing — a mix of movement, curiosity, and good company.

🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do

We’ll meet outside Downsview Park Station and head into the park for a relaxed walk, roughly about an hour at an easy pace.
This isn’t a long-distance or intense walk — just enough to get moving, chat, and enjoy the space.

Afterward, we’ll make our way to the market to explore together. There are usually a variety of vendors and food options, so we’ll take our time, see what’s there, and grab a bite if something catches our eye.
You’re welcome to stay, eat, or head out whenever you like.

🌦️ Weather & Expectations

This event will happen in typical spring weather — sun, wind, or light rain.
As long as it’s not extreme conditions, we’ll be going ahead.
Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
Also — since this is our first time doing this route, we’ll be figuring it out together a bit. That’s part of the adventure.
And as always — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. It’s about being social and enjoying the experience.
