As part of the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood Plan, a multi-phase project to revitalize the Bathurst Quay community, a new approximate 4,000 square metre (1 acre) park is coming to the historic Canada Malting Co. property located at 3 Eireann Quay.

The construction of this new park is a critical part of a larger plan to transform the under-utilized space into an attractive and animated destination for waterfront residents and guests, and to create a welcoming gateway into the downtown core for visitors to Toronto arriving from the adjacent Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
The timeline is subject to change.
