The museum is accessed by walking along a paved path. The weed pull sites will be accessed by a maintained wood boardwalk. There is a ramped curb to access the site. The site is covered by large trees and houses that provide ample shade.

There are washroom facilities inside the John Walter Museum for volunteers to use, directly adjacent to our weed pull site.
