Province Taking Next Steps to Build Ontario Place

June 24, 2025

• Under the leadership of Premier Ford, we’re rebuilding Ontario Place into a world-class destination for families and tourists, with convenient connections for visitors coming by car, GO train or the Ontario Line’s nearby Exhibition Station.
• The reimagined Ontario Place will offer more than 50 acres of free public trails, expanded green space, playgrounds, interactive fountains, new beaches, event spaces and an updated marina – all designed to create a world-class waterfront destination that will attract up to six million visitors every year.
• Highlights from the final designs for Ontario Place include:
  • Lakeside walking and cycle paths and onsite parking
  • A reimagined Brigantine Cove featuring an urban beach, boardwalks and children’s playgrounds
  • New canoe and kayak launch sites and natural stone lookout points
  • A new Marina and vibrant hub,  with open-air pavilions and spaces for future programming and amenities
  • An up to 3,400 square feet Indigenous cultural pavilion on the East Island
• Our government is taking the next steps to rebuild Ontario Place into a world-class destination by unveiling the final designs for the reimagined public space, marking a major milestone in the transformation of Toronto’s waterfront that will boost economic growth across Toronto and the region.
• The investments we’re making will help keep 5,000 workers on the job, despite the economic uncertainty caused by President Trump’s tariffs, and will help protect and grow Toronto and Ontario’s tourism sector for decades to come.
