Mill Creek Ravine has held a special place in children's hearts throughout history. Favourite recorded activities included squishing pennies on train tracks, biking, bush parties, tobogganing, and cross-country skiing. Children's perspectives of the Ravine were well documented by Mill Creek Build a Park, and demonstrate that youngsters coveted the Ravine as a place of escape and recreation. In the 1970s, children reported two dangerous tobogganing routes: Daredevil One and Daredevil Two. Fueled by adrenaline, white-knuckled children clung to their toboggans as they plummeted down the precarious slopes at breakneck speeds.
