Garrison Creek was a short stream about long that flowed southeast into the west side of Toronto Harbour in Ontario, Canada.〔 〕 It has been largely covered over and filled in, but geographical traces of the creek can still be found. The natural amphitheatre known as Christie Pits is one such remnant; the off-leash dog "bowl" of Trinity Bellwoods Park is another. The name ''"Garrison Creek"'' was used because Fort York was built near the creek mouth. Volunteers lead popular tours of the course of the old watershed. ==History== Garrison Creek was one of a number of small natural watercourses on the site of the current city of Toronto.〔 Starting in the 1880s, the stream was diverted into underground sewers under city streets and the original course was filled in with soil. By 1920, the stream was entirely diverted into the sewer system. There are many artifacts of the Creek's existence, including buried bridges along Harbord Street and Crawford Street south of Dundas Street. In 2013 particular strong rainstorms caused the storm sewers that replaced Garrison Creek to flood, at Christie Pits, Trinity Bellwoods Park, and a railway underpass at King Street and Atlantic Avenue.〔 〕 Both Christie Pits and Trinity Bellwoods Park are over the original Garrison Creek Ravine, while the King and Atlantic intersection is over the course of Asylum Stream, a tributary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garrison Creek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
