Outdoor Park Party
2:00pm – 5:00pm
Location: Queen Elizabeth Park, Picnic Site #1
This will be the end point for the walk earlier in the day. What’s a better way to enjoy the outdoors with your dance friends? We are planning for park activities, frisbee, games, and swing dancing!
Driving: Please be advised that driving to the site can be tricky. It’s one-way going downhill towards a bridge, with the turn-off on the left side halfway down the hill. If you miss the turn, you need to cross the bridge and go ALL the way around again, a 5 minute detour. But if you make the turn, you will be finely rewarded. Here are directions from Sugar Swing.
On site: A canopy (shade), 6 picnic tables, parking, washrooms (200m away), power, small open field
Recommended Bring: refreshments, sunglasses, hats/umbrellas, bug spray, sunscreen.
Optional: blankets, chairs, snacks, frisbee, football, etc.
For heat and smoke advisory/warning for all dance activities, please check our Instagram/Facebook/website for the latest updates.
