Evergreen Brick Works

Came here to celebrate and anniversary, and adored this place. Brickworks has so much going on; the staff, shops and food are lovely. There were a lot of plants, flowers, bulbs, and seeds for sale which I'm looking forward to getting more of soon! Missed the weekend market but hope to catch another one. Beautiful scenic walking trails. It felt clean and safe here, we'd love to come back. Used the public shuttle, finding the pick up point was a little tough from the station but we got pointed in the right direction. It looked like there was some parking on site as well. Pleasant trip over and back. We went earlier in October during the maze, mums, and pumpkin time when some of the leaves had started changing but it wasn't too cold yet. Really enjoyed taking photographs here, would like to see it in the different seasons. Definitely recommended by our family!

It’s a lovely corner in downtown Toronto with local shops, food tents, lovely hiking trail, bike trail, little pond with ducks and geese, and overall a lot of greenery. It is pretty beginner friendly has patches for advanced hikers too. The local shops here have some really cool, albeit a little expensive items for home. We got some fridge magnets, honey, ground coffee and also some hot chocolate and food from different shops! I visited here in Fall, definitely planning to visit again in the Summer for a picnic with friends and family!

Enjoyed my visit. Plenty of walking trails Took a detour off the main trails. There were some challenging climbs and descents. Was supposed to do the free Nature tour but the tour guide did not show up. Did the historical tour instead which was nice. The volunteer tour guide was quite knowledgeable. Would visit again. Take note that parking is $10. Easier to download the app and pay there.

My happy place in Toronto. ❤️ Beautiful walking trails. Great for on leash dogs. Great coffee shop, garden center, and gift shop. Love how they’ve kept the graffiti on the brick walls. Love the living mural of Toronto’s water ways. Green escape in the city. They do great work for urban sustainability. Hard to explain how much I love it!

Gorgeous park, I love the free tours of the kilns and the nature reserve/reclamation area! I’ve been twice since moving to Toronto and have loved it both times. It’s great to pack a little picnic and have a hike in the city, or to buy a little snack from the cafe!

Evergreen Brick Works hosted this year’s Rails World tech conference, and what a great venue it was! A mix of natural surroundings and industrial fixtures across the campus of buildings made for an incredible setting. The event lighting and music brought the spaces to the next level. The event had over 1100 folks in attendance from ~60 countries, and everyone I spoke to loved the site. The venue also allowed for a variety of food trucks to park alongside catered food service. If I lived locally I’d be back on the weekends for the farmers’ market and bike workshop. 10/10!

A cute holiday market located not far from the city of Toronto, surrounded by a beautiful landscape. I spent ~3 hours here exploring the market and taking a quick hike on the nearby trails. The market also featured a small skating trail, which seemed intriguing. We stumbled across many great vintage finds, including a real Atari machine. Note: there is free ~7 min shuttle service from Broadview station to Evergreen Brickworks, and back as well. However, the service stops around noon so make sure to look at the schedule and plan accordingly. Otherwise, it is not much more complicated to navigate using the TTC.

Wonderful gateway to the nature so close to downtown! I have been there twice. First on a weekend in late spring, there were beautiful water lilies in the pond. And there were a few people putting up their easels around the pond and painting right there! Recently I went there again on a Fall weekday, fewer people there so I can enjoy the nature better. The easy hike there was very pleasant! Although it is paid parking, go with a few friends in 1 car!
