I've been to the Brickworks for a few reasons: for walks around the wetlands (totally amazing), for the off-leash dog park (meh... too muddy), and for the farmers market (my least favourite... so many annoying people). Last night we went there for a private event. It's a neat venue. I like how they've kept a lot of the graffiti on the brick walls. For those of us who don't own a car, it is a little awkward to get to. If you don't mind waiting there is a shuttle bus from Broadview station. You can't bring your dog on the shuttle, so that's pretty much useless for me.
