This was not what I envisioned from reading Ernest Thompson Seton's stories about Wild Animals he had known. The fully paved bicycle and pedestrian path runs through wide swathes of manicured lawn, representing the kind of environmental destruction that drove out E. T. Seton's beloved wild animals from the Don River Valley.
The park appears to be popular with joggers and families with baby strollers. There is lots of space on the grass on either side of the path to walk dogs without getting into the way of joggers and cyclists. Garbage and recycling bins are plentiful; you never have to walk more than 100' before finding a place to deposit your poop bags.
This is a sunny trail with only partial shade provided by the isolated trees dotting the landscape. There is a water fountain near Overlea Drive. You will need a water bowl.
I came into the park through the access road to Wilket Creek Park from Leslie Street, just north of Eglinton. The parking lot is huge, and if you are lucky, you will find a shady spot to park.
