Timeline

  1. 12:00

    Bari's Pizza

    Grab a slice of pizza from Bari's Pizza. It is open at noon and just a minute's walk from the park entrance, making it a quick and easy start.

  2. 12:30

    Tappen Park

    Walk over to Lakruwana for the main meal. The restaurant is a short walk from the pizza spot and offers a more elegant setting with buffet options if you prefer variety. This is the heart of the afternoon.

  3. 13:30

    Fort Hill Park

    After eating, take a gentle 27-minute walk north-northwest to Fort Hill Park. The park sits on a slope and offers a quiet, elevated perspective of the St. George neighborhood and the water.

Local tip

Bari's Pizza and Lakruwana are both very close to Tappen Park, so you can easily loop back or head to Fort Hill Park without crossing busy streets. Fort Hill is small, so allow enough time to enjoy the view from the top.
