The Beltline was a railway that opened in 1892 as a commuter loop from Union Station. It followed the Don Valley, veering northwest at the Brickworks through the Moore Park Ravine to Mount Pleasant Cemetery. After crossing Yonge St. it cut a diagonal path through Forest Hill to just north of Eglinton and continued west to what is now the Barrie GO train line by Caledonia Rd., where it headed back downtown.
The best-known section is the Kay Gardner Beltline Park – the oldest stretch of trail between Yonge St. and the Allen Rd. It is this portion of the trail that runs through the rear yards of The Chaplin. Residents will have direct access from their own backyard to this amazing amenity.
