Neighbourhood Stroll

This beautiful, historic neighbourhood is largely defined by the Cedarvale Ravine that runs through the area, offering a fantastic natural oasis to its residents. North of the ravine lies the Cedarvale area, which has historic ties to Sir Henry Mill Pellatt of Casa Loma fame, while south of the ravine is Humewood, which was associated with William Blake Hume, a lawyer and politician who owned an estate that covered much of this land previously. Stately homes line the residential streets of this area on both sides of the ravine, and fantastic local businesses can be found along Eglinton Avenue West in the Upper Village BIA.

Main Streets: St. Clair Avenue West, Eglinton Avenue West and Vaughan Road

    Cedarvale Park is a hub of activity with sports fields, playgrounds and very steep hills ideal for tobogganing. The south end of the park contains a ravine, wetlands, and a young regrowth forest.

  3. Justin Pape Artbox
    Northeast corner of Vaughan Road and Kenwood Avenue
    Raccoons and Toronto go hand in hand. Usually, though, they are seen as pesky bandits. This artbox puts them in a happier light, hanging out in nature and being swept up in various elements of the ravines around the city.

Accessibility information: Most points of interest in this stroll are visible from the street. Parts of Cedarvale Park and Cedarvale Ravine contain unpaved paths, steep hills, and uneven surfaces. The Glen Cedar Bridge can only be accessed from the floor of the ravine via a large staircase. Stairless access to the bridge can be found from the south near the intersection of Glen Cedar Road and Heathdale Road, or from the north near the intersection of Glen Cedar Road and Strathearn Avenue.

The StrollTO itineraries may follow routes that do not receive winter maintenance. Please review winter safety tips and for more information contact 311.
