Description
This location consists of several cruising areas. On Google Maps, this spot is named 'Frolicking Trails.' If you view the map listing, it gives you the most popular times when the most people are down here. There is the parking lot, which also happens to be part of Regatta Road. The action here takes place at the very end. As you drive south down Regatta Road, you will come to a stop sign where the bike path crosses the road. Immediately past the stop sign, turn left and drive east to the very end. At night time it can be pitch black down here. The second area is the trails directly across and to the north, northeast, and east of the end of the parking lot. There is a bike path dividing the parking lot of the bush area where the trails are to the north. The paths are well-worn and hard to miss. Walk along them until you find something fun. The parking lot can be a source of action 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Rain or shine, snow or no snow. You will find action here at the most unexpected times. The bush trails tend to be more popular from April to October. This place is massive. The causing area runs from the bike path north to Unwin and from nearly Regatta Road to the west to the smoke stack to the east.
Who Goes There
Everyone and anyone. It's a complete mix. On average, from 25 to 40. Older crowd during the daytime.
Hours / Best Times After hours.
Almost all hours, seven days a week. However, the busy periods are Wednesday to Sunday, 10 pm to around 4 am. Summer weekend afternoons can be very busy, as is the after-work rush from 4-6 pm, year-round. From May to October, cruising happens on the trails, in cars in the winter.
Cruising Info / Tips
The usual. Everyone is usually friendly. Cruisiest Spot: At the end of the parking lot and in the paths.
Nudity
Be smart people. It might be fun to strip naked and run down the bike path with a bike light strapped to your dick and another one stuck up your ass, while you loudly announce 'Ding ding, I'm a bicycle come ride me'. But there are regular people walking this bike path at all hours of the day and night. And the people in the sailing clubs don't want to bring their families down if they keep seeing guys fucking out in the open in broad daylight. It's also a surefire way to get the wrong kind of attention here.
