Where exactly
This is a well known park for getting you to other gay cruising parks in downtown Toronto it is often called the link. it is across from David Balfour on Mount Pleasant, (fast moving street be careful of traffic) on the Moore Park side. Travel down park rd that twists to the left it will do a full circle and get you back to David Balfour in 2 hours walk. Meantime you will have passed the old brickyards, and Mount Pleasant Cemetary, back into the backside of David Balfour. Very cruisy. Cross street: Mount Pleasant ave on one side. Don Valley Parkway on the other
Cruisiest spot: At top of the hill overlooking brickyards, also beginning of trail at David Balfour, also at the Moore Park entrance at the cementary, weekends, guys have been seen holding hands on the trail all year round, so far no gay bashings.
When to go
Noon to 5 in winters,summers depending on weather all times. day time noon to 10 pm Best times: Safest times 9 am to 9pm summers. Dates open: all year round, trails not plowed in heavy snow
Sunset today · Sunrise tomorrow
Etiquette
Let caution be your eyes. Be aware that cops are also on horse back and bikes. This is a well known link to other cruising parks, bring water with you as there are no restrooms or fountains. It is a long walk so you may want to bring bus fare and catch a ride at St,clair or Summerhill, or at Moore pk.
Safety
Bags of dog poo hanging in trees. No water fountains, bikes traveling at high speeds without ringers you take your life in your own hands on curves. Beware of flooding in spring. Homeless people do live in the valley and will rob you at night. Police travel by horse back and by bikes, as this is a quick way to get to many parks secretly.

If I was driving to this place, where would I park and enter? I live in the area, but cannot figure out where to enter. Can anyone help me?

Many woodland buddys meet here because it is diffrent than taylor creek park.less of the older gents who cruise non stop in cars,parking lot not large enough for chicken hawks.however if your into walking it is worth the visit even in winter.As guys skate on the ponds.bring a thurmus of hot coffee,dress warm sit atop of pottery hill in brickyards at speakers corner,also called governers block.you can veiw a beautiful toronto skyline,also anyone entering the park from all sides.all thought summers and fall are best.
