Embrace the Great Outdoors<\/h2>\n<p>If you love spending time in the great outdoors, Scarborough has plenty to enjoy. You can take a hike down the woods trail along Highland Creek from Morningside Park all the way to Lake Ontario and observe all of the lovely plants and birds. There is also a lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterfronttrail.org\/\">waterfront trail<\/a> from East Point park to Pickering that offers stunning views. If you are visiting during the winter, head to Adams Park where you will find a superb tobogganing hill.<\/p>\n<h2>5.
