September 28, 2016: Sundown at The Spit

I have never been to the spit.....what is the best way to get there?
is there parking???

 

[Razz]

The Leslie Spit, as the name implies, is at the very foot of Leslie Street. The spit itself is the man made extension of Leslie Street out into the Lake. The park is formally known as "Tommy Thompson Park". If you're coming from downtown, go east on Lakeshore Boulevard and when you get to the Canadian Tire store at Leslie Street, turn right and follow Leslie St. about 3 blocks south to Unwin Avenue where the gates to park are. There is large (free) parking lot just inside the gate, or you can park for free along the north side of Unwin Avenue. The park is open on Saturday and Sunday (and statutory holidays) from early morning to 9:00 pm, and on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm, although the parking lot is closed. You would have to park on Unwin Avenue on weekdays. The delayed opening during the week is because trucks still dump their clean fill there during regular working hours.

Thanks......interesting that they are still dumping clean fill there.....It appears that the never ending plans to develop the mouth of the don river and east of it is moving along slower than the crud in the keating........wonder how that will affect the spit.....

I really need to get down to the spit myself. Great photos as always, Razz

the crud in the Keating is dredged and deposited in the Spit's "cells" (the three interconnected lakes on the Spit). The smallest and northernmost cell reached capacity a few years ago, was capped, and converted to a wetland. This dumping of dredgeate will still continue under contract even with the Don mouth revitalization, seeing that Keating and the harbour will always remain navigable waterways. There's probably another half century before the other two cells are full.
