Weekly Photo: Have you been to Biidaasige Park yet? The weekend is here – a great time for a walk (or paddle) along the transformed Don River. Our team will be opening up the Visitor Centre in the park on specific dates, starting July 30. Check back here for dates: portlandsto.ca/visitorcentre/

Flashback Photo from 2024: The park on the west side of the island is being graded to the designed elevation. It won’t stay this smooth and flat for long, by next summer, this will be a park with over 6km of recreational trails, millions of plants & thousands of trees. portlandsto.ca/construction...

Can Toronto finally fix its waterfront disconnect? Chris Glaisek (@waterfrontoronto.bsky.social), Ilana Altman (@thebentway.bsky.social), and Erika Potrz (@hoverlink.bsky.social) join @spaikin.bsky.social to talk Gardiner, tourism, public space, and what’s next for the 2.5km strip of Lake Ontario.

Weekly Photo: Brrr! Hard to believe this chilly scene was just a few months ago. Taken in January, this photo looks west toward the Cherry Street South Bridge, capturing a frozen moment along the river.

Save the date! Jane’s Walk 2025 is coming – and we’re taking you on a journey through the public art of West Don Lands and the new park that will begin to open this summer in Port Lands. Info below⬇️

Weekly Photo: There’s more happening in the Port Lands than meets the eye! Whether you're driving, biking, or walking by, it’s easy to miss the behind-the-scenes action. In this photo, crews are busy moving rock near what will soon become Canoe Cove. Big moves for a big transformation!

Weekly Photo: Can you guess where this is on site? If you said Fire Hall 30, you're spot on! ✅ This heritage building is getting an upgrade to get ready for its new life as the entrance pavilion to Biidaasige Park.

Weekly Photo: Check out these two friends hanging out on Cherry Street North Bridge enjoying the view!

Weekly Photo: This stunning shot shows an excavator placing rip rap—large stones that serve as a protective layer over the Reactive Treatment Layer. The RTL, as we shared before, is a crucial environmental barrier installed at the riverbed to safeguard the restoration of the river and wetlands.

Weekly Photo: Brr! This view looking east over the frozen river might just make you long for warmer days. But don’t worry—spring is on its way! Soon, the riverbanks, new park, and wetlands will come alive with fresh greenery and vibrant blooms.

Weekly Photo: These two majestic hawks were spotted in the Port Lands early one morning this month, perched in the wetland on the north side of the new river. It's wonderful to see nature already reclaiming these naturalized spaces!

Weekly Photo: These two shots were taken nearly four years apart, from almost the same spot in the Port Lands! The 1-kilometer stretch of the newly revitalized river valley now serves as a dynamic outlet for the Don River, creating a vibrant flow where there was once stillness.

(1/2) At Waterfront Toronto, we're working to create a vibrant, connected waterfront that belongs to everyone. With the backing of federal, provincial and municipal governments we overcome the barriers to revitalization so that Toronto can take its place among the world's top waterfronts.
