Discovery Walks is a program of self guided walks that link city ravines, parks gardens, beaches and neighbourhoods. Informative signage will help you experience an area's heritage and environment.

Discover your city by taking a walk!
After years of planning and design, city staff are now installing signs to mark the route of six new walking trails encompassing parks, heritage sites, lost rivers and ravines, interesting Toronto neighbourhoods and streets, waterfront locations and much more. Many of you will have seen the prototype signage at one of our display booths that were set up at numerous public events across the city during the summer of 1997.
