Riverdale Park in Old Cabbagetown Toronto

If you live in the city and have a baby you are probably experiencing the same issue as we are: what to do on weekends that we haven't already done tons of times? You don't want to stay home all day because after half an hour playing Peekaboo you feel like you are getting stupid and you don't want to go shopping either because you were taught that sundays afternoon are a family time:)
So what else? Well you could go for a nice walk in one ot the Toronto' parks and Riverdale Park is one of them. Located in the Old Cabbagetown district it goes from Riverdale farm down to the Don River and then (unfortunately) along the DVP. The path going both north and south is okay and wide enough for strollers even though you will mostly see joggers or bikers. Try not to go by yourself because you will have to go down lots of stairs before reaching the pathway. If you walk north at some point you will distance yourself from the DVP and I believe you could walk for at least 10 kms. If you wanted to go south you would end up at the Distillery district.
FYI that path is part of the Toronto Discovery Walk.
It is an alternative to Queen's Park. However, even if you probably get the lights from the DVP, I would not feel safe to go too late at night or when it gets dark.
In the summertime don't bother going too far, just stop anywhere in the park and enjoy a picnic or a nice afternoon in the sun.
