Walk-Through Wednesdays

A rest stop on the Downsview Park Trail of Lights

Families take a break from the walk and have a hot drink (2008)

Marilyn Campbell
In 2008 (when the only way to access the trial was by foot) there was a Warming Station set up around the half-way mark where you could take a bathroom break and buy hot chocolate, coffee, tea and treats like chocolate bars. There was also a short cut right next to the warming station that would still allow you to see many great displays without walking nearly as far. Check back for updates on whether or not these options will be available in 2009.

If you know from the start that little legs will have a problem doing the whole route, Downsview Park recommends bringing a stroller, wagon or sleigh, recognizing that the trail is segments of asphalt and gravel.
