For a great run or walk, head down Dupont St until you get to the west railpath accessible by steps to the overpass. It currently runs along the train tracks all the way to Dundas. A loop or run from our place to Dundas and back is around 5.5k.

Great spot all year round for walks or picnics. There is a pond and a petting zoo. In the summer months you can see Shakespeare in the Park and in spring, catch the cherry blossoms. If you're feeling adventurous, continue on foot or bike to the lakeshore accessible on the south side of the park

Sightseeing

Lively neighbourhood full of cheap eats and my favourite cinema in town, Hot Docs Cinema! I recommend getting off the subway at Bathurst and walking east along Bloor Street to check out shops and eat. You can pair this with Koreatown which falls west of Bathurst.

Koreatown and Christie Pits are a great neighbourhood! Some of the best ice cream is at Put A Cone On It. It will take you up to 30 minutes to walk from the Airbnb to Christie and Bloor. You'll find loads of Korean food and karaoke! There are some great bars too around the park.

This is a must see when visiting Toronto! An eclectic mix of shops. It really is a neighbourhood where people hang out for coffees, catching up with friends, people watching. Loads to discover. Pop down there any time of day for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks. We often pick up fresh food and produce there to cook at home. Easy to pair with Chinatown which is right next door. To access, get to College and Spadina and find the top of Augusta Ave just west of College.

A very interesting strip full of galleries, vintage furniture shops and great restaurants. A night out can be had here, only 20-30 minute walk from our place. This area of Toronto was under prohibition until the early 2000s so it only just picked up as a place to be in recent years. We love the gelato shop (listed) and a tiny little bar called "Hole in the Wall"
