Nature walk at Downsview Park

Take some time to enjoy nature in Downsview Park.

Downsview Park has large fields and woodlots that attract a variety of wildlife to the Park. Take a walk through Boakes' Grove, where towering trees provide shade and habitat. Keep a look out for: killdeer, red-winged black birds, morning doves, red-tailed hawks, skunks, squirrels, groundhogs, deer, foxes and coyotes.

How to get there

From Keele and Sheppard: Walk southeast towards the mature trees, behind the building located at 70 Canuck Ave. Look for flag poles. You will see a path that goes into the grove, lined with wood chips.
