This can mean I will request e-transfers to secure spots (ie tee time). Cost for 9 holes of mini putt is $14.95 plus tax. The food and drinks are extra.

Almost Jeopardy is now gone from GLB Brewpub. This was just posted today: THERE’S A TRIVIA NIGHT DOWNTOWN, AND ANDREA IS ASKING THE QUESTIONS! Is your brain is packed with history facts, pop-culture nonsense, science tidbits, or information you genuinely can’t remember learning? Then, this is night is for you. Andrea’s trivia questions will have you saying “oh yeah, I knew that” or “why on God’s Green Earth do I know that?”. Play to win or play for the joy of giving all of that cerebral clutter a stage. We’ll have #FreshGLB and delicious food, because nothing tastes quite as good as victory (except maybe another round). 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Every Tuesday @ GLB Brewpub (Downtown Toronto) at 7PM! ) 📝 That is from their Instagram.

Great small park; for me the concretions are always the highlight. Gravel trail with a couple of inclines - poles can be helpful on these. The loop is around 2 miles; plan on doing it twice (if you want less mileage you can drop off after the first loop). Optional lunch after the hike; location tbd. When you enter the park drive to the parking lot straight in front of you vs the one to the left.
