Sept.29



For example:

 

My family enjoys visiting Etienne Brule park.  It is located just behind the Old Mill in the Kingsway community of Etobicoke, Toronto.  

The park is situated approximately in the  north west corner of Jane and Bloor, south of Dundas, east of Prince Edward.  The Humber River flows through it.  Pictured below is a mental map of its location:


This park is a destination for dog walkers, bird and fish photographers, recreational fishing, children, baseball leagues, and anyone who enjoys being among nature.

My wife, Linda, is particularly fond of this park since she recalls her dad photographing her as a child on the playscape and taking her on nature hikes when they lived in the area.  We enjoy interacting with other dog walkers, watching our dogs play together or just sittting by the Humber River listening to the flowing waterfalls as we slow down to enjoy some quiet family time in the heart of our busy city.  Our children love collecting acorns, chasing the squirrels and playing on the monkey bars.
