Details:

• Bring your own drinks and food.  If you can, bring some to share.
• Alcohol is disallowed at the picnic site — park rules.
• There is little shade in the middle of the day; remember to bring sun protection.
• Bring an umbrella in case of rain showers.

Directions by car:

• Drive to High Park avenue & Bloor street.
• Drive south, into the park, along High Park avenue.
• Upon entering the park, High Park avenue becomes two one-way streets which slowly diverge.
• There are several parking areas (all free of charge) along the southbound branch of High Park avenue (a.k.a. West Road).  Should the park prove excessively crowded, there is also free of charge street parking in the side-streets to the north and to the west of the park.
• Continue with the walking instructions.

Directions by TTC:

• Take the subway to High Park station.
• Exit from the station's east end.
• Walk a short distance east to High Park avenue, then south to Bloor, then cross Bloor and enter High Park.
• Continue with the walking instructions.

Walking instructions:

• Just 30 metres into the park from Bloor street, High Park avenue becomes two one-way streets which slowly diverge.
• Walk another 40 metres south along the southbound lane (a.k.a. West Road), to where another street dead-ends onto West Road from the east.
• Our spot is directly west of there: walk west, off the road, into the trees.
• Walk straight, about 80 metres (160 paces, a three-minute walk), to picnic area #2.  It is also west and a little south of the brick building (the chess house / washrooms).
