Toronto is finally starting to take advantage of its massive waterfront, with all new trails, bridges, green spaces and an entire neighbourhood on a brand new island in the works.
Among the latest plans for making the best of our shoreline is an all-new park that will provide sandy beaches, public art, space for events and some pretty killer views in the Port Lands.
The park will have a patch of sand to make for a beachy oasis right downtown. Rendering from CreateTO.
TORONTO A new public park featuring a beach and a 360-degree viewing platform is coming to Toronto’s industrial waterfront. On Wednesday, city officials announced that the concept and design for Leslie Slip Lookout Park, which will be located on the Martin Goodman Trail in Toronto’s industrial Port Lands, had been chosen. The nearly two-acre park will feature a public beach that will “create a new multi-use community destination” in the city, officials said, and will also include a 360-degree viewing platform that overlooks the city’s skyline and Toronto’s ship channel. Toronto Mayor John Tory said that he hopes to have shovels in the ground in March, but it may be a couple of years before the park is open to the public.
