Out & Back

A transforming Scarborough hydro corridor of meadow habitat and multi-use trail. The completed vision spans 16 kilometres between the Don Valley and Rouge National Urban Park, linking seven river systems, 15 parks, and 13 neighbourhoods—but the route is not yet continuous.

Very Toronto Tips

Come for the scale of the experiment: ordinary hydro land becoming pollinator habitat and useful cross-city green space. The best visit is planned from the official public-access map, because construction and restoration move from segment to segment.
