Getting To The Park

If Driving: The entrance to Sunnybrook is on Leslie, 100m north of Leslie & Eglinton. It’s a short drive from the DVP. From the 401 (north of park)
Take Leslie St. exit off 401, head south almost six kilometres to the entrance of Sunnybrook Park.

From downtown Toronto
Go north on Avenue Rd., Yonge St., Mt. Pleasant or Bayview to Eglinton Ave., turn right (east), continue to Leslie, go left (north) 100m to the entrance of Sunnybrook Park.

From 404/DVP
From DVP, take Eglinton Ave. Exit, go west to Leslie St., go right (north) 100m to the entrance of Sunnybrook Park.

Public Transit - TTC INFO: There is very intermittent TTC service along Eglinton Ave. East early in the morning, so consider taking a cab with your friends to the start and then taking the TTC home. Visit www.ttc.ca for more info.

Go Green - Try To Ride Share
Click here for details on the Toronto Women’s Runs PickupPal program. It's free - you can either offer or ask for a ride from a fellow runner. Ridesharing can significantly reduce the total carbon footprint for the race and its more fun to share the drive.
Parking
Parking within Sunnybrook Park is very limited. Please keep in mind that everyone will have to park and walk to the start area. Give yourself at least 15-20 minutes to get into the park, to park and then to walk to the start area.

Note: the park is NOT closed to traffic so please pay attention to parking marshals and follow their directions to the appropriate lots.

Parking inside the park:

Directly inside the park, north of the main entrance (150m from start/finish line)
Past the washrooms (a 250m walk to start / finish line) in the Serena Gundy Parking lot
Along park road (a 300m walk to start / finish line)
In the middle lot (just a 400m walk to start / finish line)

Parking outside the Park:

At the Sony and Wrigley buildings on Leslie, just north of the Park entrance (a 400m walk to party site) If you’re getting close to being late for the race, you KNOW you won’t be parking close to the start line/party site so please be ready to jog there from wherever you park.
At Sunnybrook Hospital and then walk down the hill and head towards the start line but please give yourself lots of time, as it is about a 2k walk
