Morningside Park

Morningside Park is a public green space in Scarborough featuring extensive hiking trails and sports facilities. The grounds stretch across a large area along Highland Creek and offer diverse zones for recreation, walking, and leisure activities.

The park was established in the mid-20th century to serve the growing residential population of Scarborough with green space. This development decision shaped the neighborhood's identity as a family-oriented community.

The park serves Scarborough's local community as a gathering place for outdoor activities and social connection. Residents use the open spaces and pathways daily for walking, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.

The grounds feature multiple parking areas, restroom facilities, and picnic spots located at entrances on Morningside Avenue and Kingston Road. Visitors should wear comfortable footwear since pathways vary in condition and the terrain can be hilly.

The area is cut through by a natural ravine system formed by Highland Creek, creating distinct ecological zones with native plants and animal life. This geological feature is visible to visitors and adds diversity to the natural experience.
