Other interesting place in the area is the Glen Stewart Ravine. The city of Toronto parks department has developed a nature trail through the Glen Stewart Ravine. There is great beauty and much hidden charms in this narrow and rich ravine. Ontario Trails Council describes the walk and nature trail as follows "At the southerly end of the ravine, the stream disappears underground and the forest gives way to a grassy open area that is being allowed to regenerate naturally. Walkers can continue south along Glen Manor Dr. East until reaching a small park just north of Queen on the left hand side. There are some pretty rockeries in this steep-sided little park. Following the path through it will bring you out to Queen St. Cross Queen and continue south on Glen Manor until you come to the Beaches boardwalk. Follow the boardwalk west and, when it ends, the paved bicycle path through Beaches Park to Ashbridge's Bay Park. Directions: Take the 502 or 503 streetcar to Kingston Road and Beech Avenue."
The homes in this area are moments to all the shops and restaurants on Kingston Road and a short walk from Queen Street East shops and restaurants and a short walk from Community Centre 55
