I had walked briefly around the midway and then needed to read an e-mail on where to meet up for a Yelp elite event. Yep, I didn't read it until I actually got to the venue. Oops! There are places to sit outside the arena. There were two older folks already out there, enjoying the day. Instead, I decided to check out the arena for a brief period. There are a number of steps to walk up to the front entrance. I didn't notice what the accessibility situation was. I believe that it was off to my left. The doors open when you approach them. I love that this arena has plenty of places to sit down, even when you aren't actually in it yet! I sat between the two sets of doors at the front. I walked in and there was yet another area with comfy chairs to sit down. The latter is better on a hot summer day, as the air conditioning is effective there. The rotary volunteers made their headquarters in the arena. Unfortunately, I couldn't see what was behind them. I did get to briefly check out the upstairs. This arena gives you the impression that it's new. It's gorgeous and bright. You know what? It has been there for over fifty years. Who knew?! There is a snack bar. It's a well-designed arena for hockey and more. I would love to come back to an event that is held in this arena. It appears to be a flexible, multifunctional place for various events besides hockey games in the winter. I appreciated that I could sit there and carefully read my e-mail. I figured out that I needed to be on the opposite side of the park by the lighthouse. I loved the inspirational message that you see when you walk into the area. Be nice. You should, regardless of whether your a kid or an older grownup. Good advice! (261)

Chesswood Arena is one of the rinks around Allen Road and Sheppard area. It's not very new and…read morerelatively small in scale - four rinks total. If you are watching any hockey games from the stands, Chesswood isn't the best for that. The audience section is levelled as the rink with seats near either one end or the other of the rink. You can't exactly have a full picture of the entire play in a top-down view. Regardless, the arena is still equipped with an equipment store, changing rooms, washrooms, food and drinks booth, and benches to sit around until games finish or for parents waiting for their kids. Keep in mind there's no glass windows for spectators to watch beyond the rink, so people must get inside one of the four rinks.

Finally made it to a Wolfpack game last weekend and absolutely loved it!…read more First off, it's Rugby League and not Rugby Union. That may not clarify anything for many, but effectively Rugby League is faster pace, has generally more running and fewer stoppages and slow downs such as scrums. Anyone can have the basic rules of the game explained in a few steps and you'll be able to follow along with what's going on. It's short and sweet compared to most North American sports as it strictly follows two 40 minute halves and a short break in between. Aside from the excitement of the game, the atmosphere is terrific. There were more people than I expected as Lamport was nearly full with about 8 thousand people. I believe all games are on Saturdays at 1pm and mostly through the summer - so it's at very convenient time and generally with terrific weather. Lamport itself is situated in a great location that's super accessible, whether by streetcar (King), GO (Exhibition), car (lots nearby) and even a bikeshare stop. And if you've heard of the Wolfpack games, there's a good chance you've already heard of their wide array of craft beers. All the beer sold is from at least a dozen local craft breweries. You can get it on draught at the tents on either side of the field, and they also have vendors selling tallboy cans in the stands. The draft is currently selling for $8 for a 14 oz cup, and the tall boy cans at $9. There's also Cider, Spirit and other liquor vendors. I think food is limited to fries, burgers, hot dogs and maybe a couple other things. Make sure you check it out and tickets are cheap too. Tip: you can buy tickets through GO (just google it) so you can effectively take the GO in on a reduced rate. Tip 2: If it's a hot day, be sure to wear sunscreen and wear a hat. The stadium is totally open.

I have been making frequent visits to Monarch Park lately, because it's winter softball time and…read morethis is where all the magic happens. First time I showed up there, I was a popsicle, it was possibly colder inside than it was outside. The heater was broken they say and it would take a few days, scratch that, weeks to get it fixed. Weeks later, it did get fixed, but only for one week, because the following week (this week), it's cold AF in there again. Beside that, Monarch Park is a full-sized soccer field is sectioned into quarters and is ultimately an all-purpose field. The many times I've been there, I have seen full on soccer games, adults and little ones training for soccer, there are people running on the track and obviously playing softball. The only downside to this place is the turf, the turf is a mix of "grass" and gravel get everywhere. In shoes, on my jackets, in my bag, everything. For softball, they also use a different ball, it's softer, and therefore bouncier, but it hurts less if you get it. Other than that, I'm just glad I get to continue playing softball indoors.

I used to love attending the Buskerfest back when they were hosting it in downtown Toronto,…read morehowever, I left disappointed this time. There used to be a lot more awesome acts such as fire-breathing, acrobatics, and beatboxing. However, I did not see any of that when I attended the festival on Friday, and I was heavily disappointed as there were actually very few acts around and it was mainly a food fest. In terms of food, even though it was also the Mac & Cheese Festival hosted at the same space, a lot of the vendors still had other options available to order. The prices were kind of steep, but that was expected for any other food fest in Toronto. However, here you must purchase food tickets at a rate of $5 for 4 tickets with no bulk purchase discounts. They claimed that on average the foods cost between 6 to 10 tickets. This was quite annoying if you happened to have a small number of tickets left, such that you can't really purchase anything other than water and pop. I would much prefer paying by cash similar to other food fests. They do charge $5 donation to enter the festival, but I didn't mind that since it goes toward the Epilepsy Foundation. However, if you plan on driving, the closest parking lot would cost you $20 for parking.

The Buskerfest has lots to offer for the young and old, singles, couples and families. SURVIVAL TIPS: - Check out their website, look up the performers, read their info and choose which ones you want to see. - Look for the schedule of performances on their website and plan your visit according to who you want to watch at what time. - Bring a mat to sit on if you like the front row: greater chance of getting chosen to participate in the acts. You can also bring a chair to sit behind those sitting on the ground: still close to the action. - Bring coins and small bills to give to the performers after their acts. Your tip should reflect how much you enjoyed their show. - Donate at the gate: the festival coordinators work hard to bring in quality acts from all around the world for your enjoyment. All donations go to Epilepsy Toronto. - Pick up a map at the information booth and look for the boards with the schedule of acts for their time and location. Look for the numbered flags which mark the different stages. - Keep your eyes open for the roaming Buskers (street performers). - Look for the photo booth van for a free souvenir. You get 3 different shots with two copies of each photo. Their record at the time of my visit was a group photo of 19 people. I had a blast watching the performances; they were entertaining and lively, blending in comedy and audience participation as well. Well organized and staffed with lots of friendly and enthusiastic volunteers. Can't wait to see who's performing next year.
