The final designs and renderings for Ontario Place’s new public park were recently unveiled by Toronto-based landscape architecture firm LANDinc, in partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Infrastructure Ontario.

Innovative environmental initiatives are at the core of this redevelopment. The park is being rehabilitated through new shoreline protection features, flood mitigation measures, soil remediation and capping.

Envisioned as the green heart of this global destination, LANDinc has reimagined the public park and carefully organized the space into five distinct zones:

• Brigantine Cove: A north-facing sand beach offering year-round activities, complemented by a nearly 316-m² (3,400-sf) Indigenous Cultural Pavilion designed in collaboration with rights-bearing First Nations and urban Indigenous groups. This multi-purpose community space will be surrounded by native plantings and diverse habitats.

• The Forum: At the heart of the East Island, a 1-acre (0.4-ha) interactive fountain, a Japanese Canadian Centennial Temple bell, and new woodland trails.

• The Mainland: The mainland will feature a vibrant new sand beach designed for year-round programming, including food stalls and pop-up events, plus new spaces for lively recreational activities.

• The Marina: The new marina landscape designs feature upgraded shorelines with open-air pavilions, wide promenades, viewing steps and spaces for exploration by foot or boat.

• The Water’s Edge: Massive stones will form a natural amphitheatre overlooking Lake Ontario.
