I recently visited Newmarket Riverwalk Commons. I parked in a rather long parking lot. The intent…read morewas to visit Eventmrkt. Instead, I drop by a rather quaint area that I need to revisit at a more leisurely pace. Newmarket Riverwalk Commons is the space outside the Newmarket Community Centre & Lions Hall. The area has an outdoor stage. I can see it being the perfect place for Canada Day celebrations and live music when the weather is warm. There was was looked like a wading pool. I'm sure that it'll be a hit when it opens for summertime fun for kids. In the wintertime, this same area becomes a skating rink. I like how cool the space has been carefully curated. It's always being used. You don't have a wading pool that sits idle for more than half the year like you'd expect at a park with one. I am guessing that most events in Newmarket happen here. It's picturesque and beautiful with a good number of parking spots. When I'm not here on a mission to park and grab a bite to eat, I'll check out the area more closely. From the glimpse of it that I got, it's cool and deserves a revisit. (198)

This is a review of the 99 Steps trail, located in the Thornton Bales Conservation Area…read more Located in Newmarket is a short 4 km loop trail called 99 Steps. It's located on 19th Sideroad between Dufferin and Bathurst. You'll know you're there when you see cars parked along the side of the narrow road. There is a small parking area for 9-10 cars at the trailhead. The trail starts with steps heading down. I don't know why it's called 99 Steps because there are only 80 steps (I counted). The trail is well maintained and has clear markers. There were only a couple of spots where it was unclear where the trail continues. The trail has some moderately steep downhill paths, so bring a walking stick if you have knee problems. Unfortunately, when I visited last week, a portion of the trail was closed, so it felt more like 2 km roundtrip. Overall, I thought it was a very nice trail and I'm looking forward to returning during the autumn when the leaves change colors.

This trail connected to another named 99 steps is located in King city just 10 minutes from Upper Canada Mall. You may bring dogs here on leash. Parking is extremely limited, about 10 spaces and I wouldn't recommend parking on the side street. There have been reports that you will get ticketed about $50 for it so I recommend you to wait until someone leaves which was only a couple minutes for me. First off... please please please research the trails before you go. It is a good idea to do this for any trail because there can be trail closures/diversions that can change. For example this one is connected to the Koffler scientific reserve at joker's hill which is part of the U of T research. They have sections closed off for scientific research. I recommend googling it to see which sections are closed. This trail is rated as a moderately difficult meaning that it is very technical with hills, tree roots and some rocks which is normal for these types of trails. Wear good shoes with good traction to protect your feet. In the beginning, they make you start off with going down hill with the steps although there's only 80 (counted). You can walk only the 99 steps section or go further out and walk the larger loop that includes koffler. In total, it's about 6 kms if you walk it all and took about an hour and a half for me who walked it sorta quickly. . I thought the trail was fantastic. Blazes (paint on the trees) well marked in the beginning of the trail. FYI. Single paint=trail is straight, 2 stripes, left higher = trail turns left, right higher = trail turns right. Unfortunately, like another review said, the blazes disappeared at the second half of the trail and the all trails map isn't all that accurate so I walked an extra km by accident, but found the correct trail back and it's a single trail all the way back to the steps. I recommend downloading the all trails app and following as gps for that bit, but maybe I'll contact the conservation to make the blazes so people won't get lost. Still gonna be back because it's so so beautiful! Thanks for reading my long review/tips lol.

The trail meanders and narrows into a footpath at some routes. It leads down into a a shallow pond for dogs to splash or kids to throws rocks into. We just went back for a winter hike and with all the recent snow, we easily could walk around without difficulty. Lots of people with dogs and hiking sticks passing through but never crowded. No washrooms or hand washing stations so plan well. The turn into the forest parking lot is right off hwy 48, drive slow or you might miss the sign.
