Evergreen Brickworks

A reclaimed quarry and former landfill, Evergreen Brick Works is a marvel in urban landscape design. In 2010, it was reopened as a reimagining of what a green city space can be. Spend a day exploring the merging of past and present in the community garden, and check listings for special events (from craft sales to craft beer festivals), especially on weekends.

Taking the kids on a scavenger hunt—pick up the instructions from the Young Welcome Centre
Sampling locally grown and locally made goodies at the Saturday farmers’ market
Hiring a fat bike and taking a winter ride through the snow-filled park
A self-guided walk around the site or try a nature trail like Lookout Path for views of the CN Tower
Outdoor ice skating inside the old brick factory, which has an open roof and exposed ceiling beams
