West Dean Park
7 reviews
 3.29 of 5

This review is not for the bike path. It's for all the terrain offered in this park. There's a great bunch of short but steep downhills on the west side of the creek just north of the foot bridge that's adjacent to the playground, picnic areas, baseball diamonds. Be careful not to wipe out on these runs, because the bottoms are quite abundant with broken glass. Also, there is singletrack along the west side of the creek along the whole length of this park.

Summary:
Interesting trail. On the right side of the creek, it's a paved path that runs from Burnanthorpe and Kipling all the way to Eglington and the East Mallish area. On the west side, there is a single track trail, but due to overgrowth and other factors, it does not connect the whole way along the creek. You have to kinda go back and forth across the creek to get a good ride going. Also, there is a dirt jump area now, made by kids who live in the area. The jumps were too muddy when I rode by, but they look like they've been made pretty well and not over used. Not bad if you're into a casual ride, nothing too fancy or technical. Just a good place to ride in the trees and get away from the roads.

Recommended Route:
From the south, start at north of Burnanthorpe and Kipling, at the park and paved trail enterence. Just follow north along the path, a sinlge track goes along the paved. When you get to a bridge, go over onto the west side and ride north. From Eglington and East Mall, go south a bit on East Mall and you'll find a gap in the steel road barrier. Ride down into the woods (the single track is very overgrown until you get into the trees) and follow south along the creek. Again, you'll have to cross over some bridges at certain points.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Etobicoke trail and the Don.

Summary:
Trail is actually named West Deane Park and is a multi use rec trail for cyclists, runners and rollerbladers (as well as pokey walkers)... It's about 5km long. Combined with the power line trail to the east (starting from the north end up at Eglinton and Martin Grove) should make for a fun ride for those looking to get some 'off road' mtb in.

Summary:
the forested part of the park has some serious routes, the downhills and such mentioned below. every few weeks there will be new jumps, or shore stuff, but it is not there for as vandilism is present. as may 9, there are a bunch of very small jumps, that most people can do sleeping. since i'm a young guy i like building jumps and ns stuff, although most of my stuff as been destoryed already [25 foot log ride, to 15 foot bidge, a steep ass kicker, a table top picnic table jumps, and many other small gaps and table jumps

Recommended Route:
any single, track as they are hardpack and fast

Other recommended trails in the same area:
