There are even a few in winter. The best place is at the bottom of the ravine -- follow well-used trails, and there are many side nooks and bushy cathedrals for worship of various kinds.

That is quite the shelter. Reminds me of the one that burnt down last summer, near the brokern water fountain. Wonder if that too is going to be rebuilt by the same thoughtful and industrious guy! LOL.

Whoever built the shelter is a bloody genius!Perfect place for it and makes for a very discrete place for playing when it's still pretty bright outside. Came in handy today.

Damn, nobody but old dudes. Still, this gem written on one of the seats at the shelter made my day (all sic): "YO PIG put this words in your forhead you migt get lucky by somme old man in church st for $1.0000 PIG PIG PIG ASHOLLE" Easy on the poppers, men.

During the day it's mostly in the southeast part of the park, near the entrance from Mt Pleasant and around that paved path leading from there. At night it's near the park benches by Sobeys. I've been wanting to check out the shelter but everytime I'm in the park it's always being staked out by someone 40+. You guys should the younger crowd get in there sometime.

Just follow the stream. Where it disappears underground is where the shelter is... on the west side of the stream.

Dammit. If the extremely hot bald guy with the beard and blue shirt I passed at noonish today is here, please get in touch.

The Shelter the guys are talking about is at the end of David Balfour Park. If you come in off of Mt Pleasant Road, follow the paved trail till there is no longer any grass, you will see a path to the left (basically the border of the grass and woods). Follow it and the path becomes a mulched trail that curves up a slight incline, there are several fallen tress, you will see a shelter created by interlocking branches on your left, the entrance is a bit hidden but there. If you are coming from Rosehill reservoir, follow the paved sloping trail cross the bridge, the broken water fountain is to your left, and the paved trail continues to your right. Follow the paved trail on your right, past the unpaved and paved split, chose either one, but don't cross the second bridge, continue along the paved trail under the train tracks until it opens again to grass, turn right and follow path till it turns into a mulched trail and you are there as mentioned above.

Really!! I was there from 1-2pm and didn't see any action at all and it's not difficult to notice with no leaves for coverage plus the trails are too muddy. Also too many dog walkers, joggers and students walking through. Too risky for daytime fun here.
