City of Toronto Policy on Group Use of Park Space

Please note that the Weston Family Quarry Garden and Don Valley Brick Works Park (the park, trails and ponds behind Evergreen Brick Works) are maintained by the City of Toronto. Access to this natural area is carefully managed in order to protect the sensitive and valuable ecosystem.

If you are visiting as a group of 25 or more and would like to access the park trails on your own (i.e., outside of a tour or walk organized by Evergreen), you are required by the City of Toronto to book a gathering. Contact greentoronto@toronto.ca for more information or to request a permit.

Accessibility

Evergreen is committed to making Evergreen Brick Works an accessible destination for our diverse community, including people with disabilities. Please visit our Accessibility page for more information. There is no charge for personal care workers on private tours and walks.
