BUILD TORONTO and Diamond Corp. have also been working with the City’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division to examine options for the provision of a new park. Claude Cormier, the landscape architect behind the City’s Sugar Beach and HTO parks, has been retained to improve the size, configuration and functionality of the park and integrate a path running through the emerging residential community to the east. The new signature park will encompass almost four acres (1.6 hectares), and, together with the pedestrian bridge, will create a vast eight-park network essentially linking Trinity Bellwoods Park to the Martin Goodman Trail and the Waterfront.
