Milliken is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, more accurately it is located in the North West section of Scarborough and South West section of Markham, Ontario. The neighbourhood is bounded by 14th Ave E to the North, Markham Road to the East, Finch Ave E to the South and Warden Rd to the West.

The neighbourhood only gave up its final farming activities in the early 1980s and is modernizing by the year. There are green spaces such as Milliken Park, Goldhawk Park and many others, also the Milliken Trail will take you on a walking tour of the neighbourhood.

There is a very large Chinese contingency in this area (over 60%) with 35% speaking Chinese as a first language at home. A huge percentage of people own their homes, which are primarily single detached homes. As the homes were built when the farming left (1980s) there are many two storied houses with garage, typical of the time of building and affordability.

A growing hub of community activity is Milliken Park Community Centre, which is located on the Northwest corner of Milliken Park at the intersection of Steeles Avenue and McCowan Road. The centre is home to a variety of camps, after-school programs and cultural activities designed to cater to local demand. City staff are in regular consultation with local advisory boards such as the Goldhawk Community Association and the Milliken Park Advisory Board to provide optimal service for the area. A very beautiful place.
