This walk should take approximately 10-15 minutes depending on your starting point in Glebe.
Public Transit (OC Transpo)

Board the bus heading towards the downtown area and get off at the 'Bank at Sunnyside' stop. From there, walk north on Bank Street until you reach Queen Elizabeth Driveway, then turn left and follow the pathway to Lansdowne Park. A single adult fare is $3.75 CAD, and you can pay using a Presto card or cash. Make sure to check the bus schedules for timings.
