Site location map within downtown Toronto, Ontario

Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail illustrative plan

The north park entrance is signified with a 52 tonne natural boulder, information signage and washroom building behind.

A floating dock offers waterfront access at the north entrance of the park. The accessible washroom building adjacent.

The Ravine is the gateway into the park; curving slightly to offer a first glimpse of Lake Ontario.

The Ravine Moccasin Identifier signifies the heritage trails and First Nations that followed Ontario's river systems.

Designed for rest or play, the Romantic Garden is a performance lawn with the capacity to support 1,500 people.

The Pavilion forms a dramatic sculptural element with peaks and valleys reflective of Ontario’s spruce and pine forests.

In Bonfire Bay adjacent the Pavilion, a pebble beach along the water's edge holds erratic northern Ontario bluff boulders.

Bonfire Bay with Campfire Circle, a location to take in views of the city and enjoy a closer proximity to the water’s edge.

View of the “Observation Rock” in Bonfire Bay that contains a blasting core through which you can see the CN Tower.

William G. Davis Trail allows visitors to enjoy the lake front experience and views of Toronto’s harbour and skyline.

A place for play, visual interest and quiet retreat, the edge of the Moraine Bluff is marked by a striking 48 tonne boulder.

The interactive 83 metre long Bluff symbolizes the geologic evolution of Ontario in the form of a glacial moraine.

In addition to mediating the elevation change between the upper and lower park, the Bluff promotes unstructured play.

Past the Bluff, a topography of drumlin landforms create the illusion of added space, allowing for moments of discovery.

Symbolic of geologic drumlins found throughout southern Ontario, the Summit offers incredible 270 degree views.

Three marker trees, a traditional navigation method used by First Nation people, guide visitors along the woodlot trail.

The western gateway will serve as an important connection point for the future, revitalized Ontario Place.

1,240 native trees and 15,000 native shrubs and perennials were planted as part of the expression of Ontario.

Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail

LANDinc

The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail transforms a derelict 7.5 acre parking lot to a new metaphorical public garden at Ontario Place. Upper woodlot walking trails wind through a native planted wilderness-inspired terrain and a First Nations inspired gateway leads to the recreated water’s edge.
