Scarborough: More Than Just a Rapper's Alias

Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Picture this: you're on the hunt for Scarborough. Look east, young grasshopper! We're nestled right up against the eastern edge of Toronto, stretching from Victoria Park Avenue in the west to the Rouge River and the town of Pickering in the east. Up north, we bump shoulders with Markham, and down south, well, that's beautiful Lake Ontario calling your name.
Not Your Average Concrete Jungle (But We Do Have Malls...Lots of Malls)
Sure, we have our fair share of urban areas, but Scarborough also boasts some seriously impressive green spaces. We're talking about the majestic Scarborough Bluffs, towering cliffs with killer views of the lake. Rouge Park is another gem, a sprawling urban wilderness with forests, wetlands, and even some rogue cows (don't worry, they're friendly-ish). And let's not forget the world-famous Toronto Zoo, where you can come face-to-face with creatures from across the globe (just don't get too close, safety first people!).
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
