1997-1998 with money from the <em>Canadian Plastics Industry Association <\/em>in cooperation with the City of Toronto, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is &#8220;<em>six sculptures made of expanded polystyrene foam, acrylic stucco coating, solar powered irrigation system, recycled plastic soil structure, native plants, and water from the Don River.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We passed the first three of the sculptures on the south side of the DVP near the dog park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point you have two options (besides heading back the way you came):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#1. Turn right (north) across the white bridge into the Charles Sauriol Park parking lot and continue north on the Lower Don Recreational trail through the E.T. Seton woods, under Overlea Blvd towards Sunnybrook park and eventually to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/hiking-trail\/edwards-gardens-to-wilket-creek-path-in-toronto\/\">Wilket Creek trail up to Edwards Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#2. Or take the path that continues west, under Don Mills Road south-west down the Lower Don River Trail &#8211; Route 45 south \/ Route 22 west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-150x309.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121305-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-747x1536.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-996x2048.jpg 996w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-150x309.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wholemap.com\/ont\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240531_121350-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A photo tour down the river and trail from Taylor Creek Park on Dawes Road west under the Woodbine bridge to the Don Valley Parkway and Don Mills Road.
