This park is along the historic Humber River in Toronto. There
are paved paths, picnic tables and parking. There is also easy
access by subway to either the Jane or Old Mill stations. While in
the area you can stroll up to Bloor St. W. and go east into the
"Village". Lots of nice shops, markets, bakeries and
restaurants.

from The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05. Brulé,
Étienne c.1592–1632, French explorer in North America. He arrived
(1608) in the New World with Samuel de Champlain, who sent him
(1610) into the wilderness to learn about Native Americans and the
land. He lived with the Huron and accompanied (c.1612) a group of
them to Georgian Bay of Lake Huron. In 1612 he guided Champlain to
that lake, and on the return journey they were, so far as is known,
the first Europeans to see Lake Ontario. Brulé was then sent to the
headwaters of the Susquehanna River and followed it to Chesapeake
Bay. On his way back he was captured by the Iroquois and tortured,
but he escaped (1618). He lived with the Huron once again, making
many explorations of which no definite record remains. He probably
visited Lake Superior and thus saw all the Great Lakes except Lake
Michigan, being the first European to do so. In 1629 he piloted the
English vessels that captured Quebec and his old commander,
Champlain. Then he retired to live an increasingly dissolute life
among the Huron. He was killed in a quarrel.
