Pedalling the Parks: Toronto’s Waterfront Heritage

Get on your bike for this exploration of our city’s waterfront heritage. Enjoy a leisurely cycle along the shoreline – experiencing the parks, beaches, and landmarks that span Toronto’s lakeside trails.

We are excited to host in-person tours again and ask for your help and patience in making the experience as safe as possible for everyone. All tour events will follow Toronto Public Health guidelines and enhanced Heritage Toronto safety measures.

Please note: This is a cycling tour that will take place along public cycling paths. Participants will need to bring a bicycle to participate. Participants can also rent a bicycle for the duration of the tour using the City of Toronto’s Bike Share program.

The nearest Bike Share station to the start of the tour is at the Marilyn Bell Tennis Courts. At the end of the tour, participants can return their rentals at the Bike Share station at the Visitor’s Pavilion Entrance at Tommy Thompson Park.

For everyone’s safety and comfort, we respectfully ask all participants to wear a mask during in-person tours. Masks will be available upon request. We also ask that all participants wear a helmet when cycling during the tour.
