Scarborough City Centre offers a broad selection of green spaces to enjoy, despite its sometimes busy atmosphere. To be more precise, the majority of locations within the neighbourhood have good access to public green spaces, such as Frank Faubert Wood Lot, since there are a few of them close by for residents to enjoy and reaching a park is very easy from most homes for sale.
