Philosopher's Walk, Historic pedestrian path at University of Toronto, Ontario.
The Philosopher's Walk traces the former route of Taddle Creek through the University of Toronto campus, connecting academic buildings and green spaces.
The Alexandra Gates, installed in 1901 to commemorate a royal visit, were relocated to the northern entrance of Philosopher's Walk in 1960.
The path includes fourteen red oak trees planted in 1990 to honor the women who lost their lives in the Montreal Massacre.
The limestone-built Amphitheatre, constructed in 2010, provides outdoor seating for university gatherings and individual reflection along the path.
The walkway follows an underground waterway that once formed Taddle Creek, which was transformed into a sewer system in 1884.
