We recommend the following routes to access the Young Centre by public transit:

FROM GO TRANSIT/UNION STATION:

The Young Centre is not accessible from the street directly for vehicles needing to park. Luckily, there are locations nearby if you are in need of the TTC Wheel-Trans service for either pick-up or drop-off.
The suggested location, advised by Wheels-Trans, where this is most easily accessed is 55 Mill Street, Guardhouse Entrance at Trinity Street and Mill Street. Other possible locations are:
- Parking Lot in Distillery Lane: Travel up Rack House Mews, the street heading north from the parking lot, and turn right onto Tank House Lane. The Young Centre is at the end of the street on the left hand side
- Cherry Street: The Young Centre is located just beside Cherry St. Although there is no parking zone, prompt drop- off and pick- ups are possible.
We recommend the following routes to access the Young Centre by vehicle. Please note: Mill St. is now a ONE WAY street going west. Please give yourself extra time to navigate and find parking.
