my husband and his friend + baby in a backpack went here to do a grouse grind style trail/steps. it wasn't a disappointment for them to find it too easy.
not at all 1001 steps towards the beach. you can see the beach shoreline really near, not at all like grouse grind, more like the one white stairways near deer lake. i agree with another reviewer saying it's more like 230 steps. any kid/adult can do it. i am 34months pregnant and they said i could have probably walked down easily. then probably took more time to go back up.
the entrance area does not have dedicated parking. so pls be mindful of where you park since it's a neighborhood area. lots of dogs walk by here as well and kids too since the playground is also near. coffee shops are also near here.
i would definitely come back here again to actually do it when when im still pregnant..for fun....

There’s tons of wild blackberries along the trail. You will find a short tunnel with lots of graffitis. On top of the tunnel is a railway.
Pack light when going to the beach as the stairs is long. You can enjoy picnic by the beach. Please note that the beach are large pebbles and stones not fine sand. Children cannot build sand castles because there’s only large stones available.
There’s no washroom. Parking is a few minute walk from the entrance of the staircase. Street parking only. Free...
