A new 4,200 m² park is coming to The Gore at 701 Fleet St, at the corner of Fort York Boulevard and Lakeshore Boulevard West, as part of the proposed development of a high-performance facility for both the Toronto Tempo and community use. The park will feature two outdoor basketball courts, a soccer mini pitch and year-round public washroom access, while also serving as a gateway to the Toronto Tempo facility, which will host public programming year-round. Together, these additions will provide much-needed public space and a destination recreation complex for all ages and abilities.

Level of Engagement

This project has been classified as a Consult project based on the International Association of Public Participation Spectrum. This means we collect and consider public feedback on a proposed design for the new park.

In this phase, the project team will present a proposed design for the park to the community for feedback. This input will be used to guide refinements to specific park elements and inform the development of a preferred design.

The anticipated community engagement activities in this phase include:

  • a pop-up event
  • an online survey

In this phase, the preferred design for the park will be shared with the community on this page and through the project mailing list. The project will then move into detailed design, where the team will work through the technical details and plans for the construction contractor.
