"Toronto’s ravines are spaces of recreation in every sense of the word. The very term recreation has its roots in Latin meaning ‘to create anew’. The ravines are places we go to bike, walk, reflect, or experience natural space in an urban environment. Yet, from where I live in Toronto ‘natural space’ is often a destination rather than our everyday environments. Ravines and parks are created natural spaces that are separate from urban spaces and often in conflict with development. I experienced this interesting tension while on a Don Valley and Dales ravine walk with friends one Saturday afternoon."
