Geocache Description:


The West Toronto Railpath Park is a new 2.1 kilometre multi-use trail that is perfect for cyclists, joggers, and people out for a stroll. Travelling alongside the railway corridor, it features extensive naturalized landscaping to create an appealing public space. The path runs from Cariboo Ave at the top end, south to the corner of Dundas St. and Sterling Rd just north of College.

The project includes four site-specific sculptures by renowned Toronto artist, John Dickson. The artwork series, Frontier, is inspired by the changing landscape of the Junction Railpath area.

The Friends of the West Toronto Railpath is a community-based working group with the goal of assisting the City of Toronto finance, design and build a 6.5 kilometre path from Toronto’s Junction Neighbourhood into the heart of downtown Toronto and the shoreline of Lake Ontario.?Once future phases of the Railpath are built, it will be both a linear park and a sustainable transportation corridor, giving more than 250,000 Toronto residents a car-free path directly into the Toronto’s downtown core.

The cost so far has been estimated to have been $4 million.

The small cache is placed to get people acquainted with this new and so far short paved corridor. The entire path is wheelchair friendly but the final hiding place will not be.

As of Aug 23/13 the cache container is a bison tube as the old container was missing.

The path may be very busy at times. Please replace it as found
