Accessibility
The park features a mix of soil, grass, and compacted natural trails. A fenced-in pathway provides safe pedestrian access along the top of the bluffs. Visitors with specific accessibility needs are encouraged to contact 311 or the facility directly, as the natural terrain can be uneven.
Parking
Free parking is available in two designated lots: one at the Ken Morrish Softball Complex (101 Copperfield Rd) and a secondary lot at the eastern end of Copperfield Road near the Bird Sanctuary entrance.
Transit
Accessible via TTC by taking Subway Line 2 to Kennedy Station, then transferring to the 134A Progress bus to Morningside Avenue and Copperfield Road. It is also reachable via a short walk from the Rouge Hill GO Station.
Seasonal Note
September is the peak season for viewing monarch butterfly migrations. Birdwatching is most active during spring and fall migration periods. Some natural trails may become hazardous during wet or icy conditions.
