We are meeting at Meyonohk Park, a few blocks south-west of Lakewood Transit Centre, at 10:30 and will start the hike at 10:45. We will initially head south along neighborhood trails before starting east on a journey through all the Mill Woods neighborhoods, from Lakewood through to Knottwood, Millhurst, Southwood, Ridgewood, Burnewood, Woodvale, Millbourne, and finally back to the starting point in Meyonohk Park. We will hike along a total of twelve neighborhood parks and the neighborhood streets in between.

The total hiking distance will be about 17 km at a moderate pace.

Clothing appropriate for the weather; dress in layers and bring everything necessary to handle rain, sunshine and bugs.
Bring lots of water and a snack.
