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 The Shared Path

The newest Discovery Walks, the Shared Path proceeds through a series of park areas along the banks of the Humber River, south of Dundas Street West to the mouth of the river. Situated throughout the park are 13 picturesque seating areas with interpretative story panels, closest to where sites of occupation or stories have actually happened. All signs are bilingual (English/French), with some stories comprising key words in Seneca, Ojibway and Huron-Wendat illustrating in a small way the diversity among First Nations languages. In all there are approximately 15 km of trails.
