Use your own maps and/or GPS to get to practice site, and see the map below for the location of parking and the closest TTC bus stop.
*** NOTE that there is NO PARKING at the actual practice site (480 Unwin Ave). You must park to the west of the site by Tommy Thompson Park / Leslie Street and then walk along the paved walking & bicycle path to the south (lake side) of Unwin Ave. We recommend to NOT walk on Unwin Avenue as there are many big trucks and other traffic on this road.
IF TAKING TTC, use the TTC.ca website or APP to map out your route. The closest bus stop is from the #83 JONES bus (stop #1238). This bus route runs south from Donlands subway station to the last stop in that run which is at Leslie St and Commissioners Rd (the closest stop to the practice site). From that last stop it is a 15-20 minute walk over 1.3 KM. From the stop, walk south along Leslie St to Unwin Ave (southernmost end of Leslie St - at Tommy Thompson Park entrance), go slightly into the park and turn right to follow the bicycle/pedestrian path that winds west on south side of Unwin Ave. When you get to the road and pedestrian bridge, you've arrived. Just cross Unwin Ave bridge to the north side where you see entrance gate and coloured storage trailer trucks.
IF DRIVING, note that while the address of the practice site is 480 Unwin Ave, there is no parking right at the site. Instead, park at either the Tommy Thompson Park lot at the south end of Leslie St (about 800m walk away), or the smaller parking area (about a 500m walk away) that is south of the practice site address. Due to construction and congestions/trucks along Cherry Street, it's better to use Leslie St over Cherry St.
IF BICYCLING, there are places to lock your bike inside the practice site at 480 Unwin.
See your team pages for the specific dates and times of your practices. Please ensure you arrive well in advance of the start of your practice in order to have time to park or walk the short walk to the docks. Normally, you want to be at the dock area 20 minutes before practice so you can get your life jacket and paddle, as well as get pre-practice instructions from your coach and/or team captain.
