Grand Concourse Authority

The Grand Concourse is an award-winning, integrated system of walkways that links waterways, parks, and scenic attractions into a pedestrian network throughout the Northeast Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland. It is a "Walker's Paradise" that spans more than 160 km from Signal Hill in St. John's, through Mount Pearl, to Octagon Pond in Paradise. The network is currently expanding into the Towns of Conception Bay South, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, and Torbay. The walkways are well maintained with directional signage along the way. Many walks are wheel-chair accessible and several accommodate cycling and seasonal cross-country skiing.
