Description
Winding its way through Forest Hill lies a hidden gem of a valley called the Nordheimer Ravine. This stretch of ravine parkland is a quiet green place where people walk their dogs, jog or go for leisurely strolls. Historically, it was the home of Castlefrank Brook which ran southeast, down through Rosedale Valley and eventually into the Don River. Named after A&S Nordheimer the famous Piano Manufactuers, the stream ended up in a series of pools and waterfalls at the (now demolished) Nordheimer Mansion. In the mid 1970s the original stream was buried when the Spadina subway line was built.
