There are 16 hectares (40 acres) of parks and open space designated in the original Harbourfront Implementation Agreement.

For purposes of this project, both the general Study Area and the specific sites are outlined on the Context Map (link to 'the sites at a glance' map or have this map displayed on this page). The major parcels of parkland to be addressed as components of the open space system include, but are not limited to:
