About the Creek
The Taylor Massey Project
Taylor Massey Creek flows for about 16 kilometers,
from the 401 near Pharmacy through the western edge of Scarborough
and then the heart of East York, joining the Don River near Don
Mills Road and the Don Valley Parkway.
Along the way, the Creek:
- Flows south through residential areas between
the 401 and Lawrence Avenue and on through the industrial area
between Lawrence and Eglinton;
- Bends slightly to the east to wind through
the three Eglinton ravines and Pine Hills Cemetery;
- Turns west to tumble through the St Clair Ravine,Warden
Woods, the Dentonia Golf Course, and the Goulding Estate, and
finally,
- Becomes the center piece of Taylor Creek Park,
a broad and high-use greenspace that runs over four kilometers
from Dawes Road to the Don River.
The map on the right shows the 12 Main reaches
of the Creek as well as the Warden Hydro Corridor. Detailed Reach
Fact Sheets can be accessed via the Reach
Portal.
