The Junction is one of Toronto’s best hidden gems.  In past years it has had a reputation for being dirty and under developed.  But Generation Go dug deep and we noticed this area has tons of stuff to see and do and is quite developed.  Here are our top picks for the best of The Junction.

Boulderz Climbing Centre: Located at 1444 Dupont Street, Boulberz is the place to be if you like rock climbing.  They have a really decent selection of high wall options as well as some good boulder runs.  The facility is clean and well maintained. They offer classes to beginners and professionals.
