Another new guy 👋

Hello all! I'm from Hong Kong and I just moved here!

Urban exploration has been something that I've wanted to try out since I found out about it, but it's hard to do so in Hong Kong so I was thrilled to explore the Lighthouse at Tommy Thompson Park!

I see that somebody else has already been to the Lighthouse - but I didn't know where else to go and I don't have a car either, so this was my best bet to start.

I just tried uploading the photos I took but there's a 100kb size limit and apparently this website never anticipated digital taking off, so I've uploaded images with captions to Imgur instead.

If anybody has any other places worth checking out in downtown, please recommend them! I don't have a car or bike so I can't visit the more out-of-the-way locations. Thank you so much and I look forward to checking out more places!

ah the lighthouse is still active, but people vandalize it regularly (as you can see). Thompson park is a great hangout overall, been there hundreds of times.

Maybe try some of our drains? there are a bunch of pretty big ones, with reasonable access. (have the gear though=)

Welcome to the hobby and to UER!

Downtown can be tricky, but there's quite a few excellent locations if you know where to look. The drains are also pretty easy to access as people have said.

The lighthouse looks great, definitely gonna have to check this out soon!

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, and especially to @rob.i.am for showing me the proper way to post images! I've been busy this week so I haven't had much time to reply.

Yeah Thompson park was awesome! It's very scenic, loved the coastline.
I read about exploring drains on the Infiltration zine, but it looks as if they're prone to being flooded in quickly/hard to explore on rainy days. What kind of gear are we talking here - respiratory mask, gloves etc?

Again, thanks to all.

Welcome to the site! Automobiles and bicycles are simply wheels mounted on metal frames that make you move faster. Neither are obligatory for you to explore what Toronto has to offer.

Keep searching; you'll be surprised by what you find!




One day I got a good camera.
