About Woburn
Where to stay in Woburn
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Two edges, two moods. Woburn's north end sits against Highway 401, which suits anyone arriving by car, while the southern boundary along Lawrence Avenue faces the rest of Scarborough and the older street grid. Curran Hall lies east of that.
Golfers will want the Scarborough Golf Club Road flank, where Curran Hall runs down to Highland Creek.
About Woburn
What are the main landmarks in Woburn?
Curran Hall is the name to know. The sub-neighbourhood fills Woburn's eastern section, bounded by Ellesmere Road at the top, Lawrence Avenue at the foot, Scarborough Golf Club Road on one flank and Highland Creek on the other. Highland Creek gives that boundary its line.
Orton Park Road holds the east. Monuments are not what Woburn trades in; the interest is the road grid and the creek valley that ends it.
What is the history of Woburn?
Scarborough came before Toronto here. Woburn belongs to that former suburb, and the name has stayed attached to the same block of streets while the government above it changed from suburb to city. Curran Hall carries its own name.
That eastern section runs between Scarborough Golf Club Road and Highland Creek, and the two names have sat one inside the other since.
Where is Woburn?
Highway 401 tops it. McCowan Road holds the west, Lawrence Avenue the south, and the streets between them run through the former suburb of Scarborough.
