1001 Steps restoration project
1001 Steps are at the end of their life cycle. This project will include the removal of the existing steps and the construction of a new stair system including new foundations. The new stair system will be constructed in the same general alignment as the existing stairs.
Scheduled work
The project start is set for late October 2024 with a completion date of March 2025.
The stairs will be closed to the public for the duration of the work.
Alternative park stairs to access the beach are located at Christopherson Steps (2409 Christopherson Rd).
Although there are not really 1001 steps, there are a lot! The top of the steps is located at the western most point of 15A Avenue, off 126A Street. From there, the zigzag of steps takes you down 40 metres to a pathway that parallels the Burlington North rail line.
About 200 metres along the trail you'll find an underpass that provides access to the beach. The pathway and steps offer amazing ocean views, with opportunities for viewing harbour seals and other wildlife.
