Scarborough, Highland Creek
University of Toronto Scarborough
I love the contrast here. Poured concrete stepping along the ravine edge, then a forested creek valley a short walk below it.
Ideal if
"You want concrete and hard geometry instead of flowers, with a forested ravine I can walk you down into ten minutes later."
