    A Midtown green space built around the Vale of Avoca ravine, offering a mix of paved and natural-surface paths, forest cover, and steady access to Yellow Creek. David Arthur Balfour (1889–1956) was Toronto’s Commissioner of Parks and Recreation. He played a major role in expanding and improving the city’s park system, including ravine conservation and recreational access— which is why this ravine corridor now carries his name.
