❄️ Winter Ravines Walk: Finch West to Downsview Park ❄️

❄️ Winter Ravines Walk: Finch West to Downsview Park ❄️

If winter has been making you want to hibernate, this is your sign to bundle up, step outside, and do something that feels genuinely good for the soul. This winter walk is all about fresh air, movement, conversation, and discovering just how much green space is quietly tucked into the city — even in the colder months.

We’ll start at Finch West Subway Station and head out together along the Finch Corridor Trail, an unexpectedly peaceful stretch that eases you into the walk. From there, we’ll move through Derrydowns Park and Downsview Dells Park, where winter turns the ravines into a calm, almost meditative landscape — snow-dusted paths, bare trees, and that crisp, quiet feeling you only get this time of year.

This isn’t a power walk and it’s not a hike that leaves you gasping for air. It’s an easy-to-moderate winter stroll, paced so people can chat, get to know one another, and actually enjoy where they are. These walks have a way of breaking down walls — conversations flow more easily when you’re walking side by side, and by the time we reach the end, strangers often feel like familiar faces.
We’ll finish our journey at Downsview Park, wrapping up at

Downsview Park Subway Station, feeling refreshed, accomplished, and very glad we didn’t stay inside.
