Meeting Places

Visit the Bear!

We are pleased to introduce the Bear Meeting place that officially opened September 2014!  The Bear is the first of four architectural landscape features planned by the Joint Stewardship Board for construction over the next few years.  The Turtle Meeting place construction is planned for Fall 2016!  Future features include the Nest and the Eel.

You can find The Bear  following a ¾ km walk southward from the Mount Albion trail entrance through the viaduct under the RHV Expressway. For a more challenging hike that descends down the escarpment, follow the trail ¾ km northward from the Mud Street entrance.

Please note, its a large file and may take a few moments to download.
