How to get to the Spit
The Spit is open year-round every weekend (except Christmas,
Boxing Day and New Year's day)
between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from April -
October and 9:00 - 4:30 p.m. from
November to March. Park on Unwin or Leslie; or
if in parking lot, be sure to exit by closing
line, as lot is barricaded after hours.
Located about seven
kilometres east of Harbourfront, the Spit is
easily accessible by bicycle, on roller blades
and even on foot (for enthusiastic hikers) via
the Goodman Trail (recently renamed Waterfront
Trail).
The closest public transit access is by the
501 Queen St. Streetcar (get off at Leslie
St. and go south on Leslie St.). It is about 1.5
km to the gate. Cars are not allowed onto the
Spit. Parking available at the gate (see map
below).
To get to the Spit by car, take Lakeshore
Boulevard to Leslie Street, turn south and
continue to the gate. You can print this page to
take with you when you go to the Spit. See you
there!
Flat smooth road for the first 3 km.
IMPORTANT: Dogs are not allowed
anywhere on the Spit. Their presence is very
disturbing to wildlife and they create a hazard
on the road which is used by walkers, cyclists
and 'bladers.
