Parkway Mall

Wander through a piece of mid-century retail history at Parkway Mall, where a sweeping space-age arch marks the entrance to one of Toronto's earliest suburban shopping centres. Built to serve a rapidly growing postwar community, the mall is a living time capsule of 1950s optimism and neighbourhood identity. It's a surprisingly charming and low-key spot to observe how Scarborough's suburban story began, all without spending a dime. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
