Exploring Biidaasige Park - Members' Outing
Date and time: September 13, 9 am to 12 pm
Leaders: Peter Sproule, Julia Zarankin
Description: Join us as we visit this beautiful new park now open in the Port Lands district. The varied habitats offer opportunities to see early fall migrants, water birds, lingering summer birds and some of the year-round residents.
The walking route will be roughly circular, with options for changing the route if there are interesting sightings. The path is crushed limestone, primarily flat and accessible.
Where to meet: Meet at 2 storey "washroom building" across from main parking lot (north side of Commissioner's)
What to bring: Dress and prepare for the weather, which could be quite warm in early September. Bring water, hats, sunscreen, snacks. Binoculars are recommended.
Registration is required. Space is limited. If you find you can't attend, please cancel your registration online.
How to get there: Due to its size, Biidaasige Park has multiple access points, with each entrance providing direct access to different features and landmarks.
By car: The closest major intersection is Cherry Street and Commissioners Street, located on Ookwemin Minising in the Port Lands.
Visitors can access:
- Old Fire Hall 30: 39 Commissioners Street
- Western portion of the park: 238 Cherry Street
Parking in the area is limited. There is a small, temporary lot at 11 Munition St. with 120 spaces. There is some on-street parking at certain hours on Old Cherry Street, Villiers Street and Munition Street. Read the signs to avoid ticketing
