Toronto’s long-awaited, Valentine-themed green space, Love Park, held its grand opening today, welcoming city dwellers to walk its winding paths and take in an abundance of heart-shaped decor. Toronto park LovePark
There’s plenty that will draw your eye in Love Park, but what stands out above the rest is a towering Northern Catalpa tree right in the middle of the pond. Cormier says the tree was an existing feature of the site that they wanted to incorporate into the design.
“That was a keeper, but it was in the middle of the pond, so we turned that into an island,” Cormier said. “Constraint became a powerful element in the design.”Nine bronze cast statues of Canadian animals are scattered throughout the park, including a beaver appropriately placed in the water.
“The idea from the very start was to make sure that we could reclaim and expand the public and green space that we have along the waterfront, and as our downtown continues to grow, [it] has become even more important of a priority and more urgent for us to do this,” Malik told STOREYS. “So what I’m excited about is along our waterfront, there is a very desperately needed public and green space that is so beautiful, and is inviting more people to gather.
Malik says she hopes to see the park become a year-round destination to be enjoyed during all seasons, “and also for visitors to be able to make this one of their favourite places in Toronto.”Laura has covered real estate in Toronto, New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles. Before coming to STOREYS as a staff writer, she worked as the Toronto Urbanized Editor for Daily Hive.
