The City of Toronto and Waterfront Toronto officially opened Love Park on June 23, 2023 along Toronto’s waterfront. The new 2-acre park creates a lush urban refuge for surrounding residents, workers and visitors on the waterfront. The site creates a new green oasis to the busy heart of the City’s waterfront, reclaiming the former Gardiner Expressway off-ramp at York Street and Harbour Street.
Trellis with movable furniture underneath and the heart-shaped pond in the background. The trellised pavilion needed to be installed on-site in separate pieces thanks to its intricate design.
Hundreds of thousands of small red Mexican smalti glass tiles were hand-selected to help create the new heart of our waterfront.

In a very close proximity, just diagonally across, two more public spaces deserve our attention. #01 on the map bellow is Love Park, #02 is Queens Quay Terminal and #03 are actually two connected spaces name Ontario and Canada Square. Click on the numbers on the map to visit them.
