The Brickworks makes you feel like you're in the country while being in the middle of the city. It's a great place to hike around with the dogs, both on & off leash, as there are trails to walk and there are also designated, fenced-in off-leash areas for the dogs (with access right off the main trails). It's a really nice feeling knowing hat you don't have to drive a few hours out of the city to experience the calming wilderness. The Brickworks is exceptionally stunning in the fall, as the colours are changing!
