Welcome to Park Lark!

In summer 2020 we embarked on a family bucket list challenge. (OK, fine. I voluntold my family to embark on a bucket list challenge with me. But they mostly think it’s a great idea. As long as I pack plenty of snacks). We are going to explore all the trail destinations within a 90-minute drive of Toronto, one-by-one. As we discover each destination, I’ll write about our experience, give you our take on the pros & cons, and provide tips & tricks for making the most of a visit.

​

When I started building our bucket list, I was amazed at the number and diversity of nature destinations that exist right within our reach. All these years we’ve lived in Toronto and never really took the time to explore what the region had to offer! I want other families to know about these places, to enjoy them, to respect them, and to support them.

Follow along to see what we discover so you can find your next little dose of nature.
