🌿☀️ SUMMER WALK TO THE EVERGREEN BRICK WORKS & MARKET ☀️🌿

Ravine Trails, Outdoor Market & One of Toronto’s Best Skyline Lookout Spots
Summer is the perfect time to explore some of Toronto’s hidden green spaces — and few places feel as unique as Evergreen Brick Works.

Join us for a relaxed social walk from St. Clair down through the ravine trails toward the Brick Works, where nature, history, community, and city views all come together.

Even though you’re still in Toronto, parts of this walk feel surprisingly peaceful — shaded forest paths, creeks, birds, hidden trails, and eventually the old industrial buildings of the Brick Works opening up in the middle of the valley.

And in the summer? The whole place comes alive.

🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do:
We’ll begin at St. Clair Station and walk down through the ravine system toward the Brick Works together.

Once there, we’ll:

🌿 Explore the outdoor market
☕ Grab drinks, snacks, or lunch
🛍️ Browse local vendors and shops
😊 Sit, relax, and socialize for a bit

Afterward, we’ll continue the adventure by walking up to one of the nearby lookout spots for beautiful skyline and valley views. 📸🌆
Then we’ll slowly make our way back together.

And if at any point you feel tired or want to head home early, buses run directly from the Brick Works to nearby subway stations — easy and flexible.

🌿 More About the Brick Works

From 1889 to the 1980s, the Don Valley Brick Works was one of Canada’s most important brick manufacturing sites, helping build much of Toronto itself.

Today, the restored site has become one of the city’s most beloved urban nature spaces — combining historic industrial buildings, markets, trails, gardens, and environmental spaces all in one place.

It’s one of those Toronto spots that people always seem surprised they didn’t discover sooner.
