Leslie Street Spit Update: August-September 2024
Dear Friends,
I hope you had a great summer and are enjoying the fall.
New Waterfront Park Now Open
I am pleased to share that the long-awaited Leslie Lookout Park is now officially open.
Located at the east end of the Ship Channel in the Toronto Port Lands, the park, designed by CCxA, recycles an industrial landscape into a recreational hub with a public beach, forested dunes and a lookout tower offering views of the city skyline.
I am very pleased this beautiful new addition to our transforming waterfront is now open for everyone to enjoy.
