Province Unveils Final Designs for Re-Imagined Ontario Place
- On Tuesday in Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford revealed the completed plans for the redevelopment of Ontario Place.
- The redevelopment follows years of neglect and closure since 2012, and includes controversial elements such as a large publicly owned parking structure.
- The plan includes more than 50 acres of publicly accessible green areas, along with additions such as beaches, the Ontario Science Centre, a year-round Live Nation amphitheatre, a cultural pavilion, and a new entrance that will connect to transit.
- Ford announced that the new parking facility will offer 3,500 spaces, remain discreetly integrated into the area, generate 5,000 jobs, and is expected to draw millions of visitors each year.
- While proponents highlight economic growth and accessibility, critics warn the parking structure may pollute lake views and worsen traffic, reflecting ongoing public skepticism.
