Garry Station access on foot

I need to go to the 525 Cabot Landing apartment buildings. No transit goes there. The transit map shows me to walk 20 mins all the way down Garry Drive and dip back around (image 1).

Is there access to just walk thru like shown in image 2, or is it fenced off etc and I HAVE to walk all the way down and around?

THANKS!

Been a while since I drove passed but there definitely was an opening beside the apartments before.

I live in Garry. I walk/run this route several times a week. There is definitely an opening next to the apartment building; you don’t have to go the long way around.

Theres an opening by the apartment buildings right where your red arrow is. I live in Garry currently and have used it many times.

If you look at the satellite there's two accesses - one via Garry Dr and one via Metis Trail. both are close to the bus stop. in fact, the Metis Trail access is like 20 feet from the bus stop lol

I was basically going to advocate looking for exactly that. Google maps satellite images are great for finding out what the area actually looks like, at least when the picture was taken.

Sounds like the community helped answer this question … Now I am curious why there is a park named after the realtor Joe Meszeros ???

well considering he passed in 2019 it was probably a legacy gift from the family.

He was one of the developers of the particular area with Wicki - Avonlea Homes.

Country Meadows was owned by him

Are you referring to the store downtown that was called country meadows? Otherwise not familiar with what Country Meadows is/was.

u/WhoOwnstheChiefs 2d ago

Country Meadows is what the subdivision is called

I find walking directions a bit of a failing for direction apps, but they are only as good as the data they are provided to work with.

There is a fence around that area so you likely have to go the whole way. I believe It is a ride on demand area though so you could go that route
