After an eight-month design competition that received proposals from more than 40 teams based in 18 cities across the globe, Waterfront Toronto—in partnership with the City of Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division—has announced the winning submissions for the York Street Park and Rees Street Park.
Claude Cormier et Associés developed the winning design Love Park for the York Street Park competition. Having completed many works throughout Canada, the Montreal-based landscape architecture firm must have had its audience's taste in mind when it proposed this crowd pleaser. Trees surround a heart-shaped reflecting pool, giving the park a romantic image and creating a welcome green oasis in a dense part of the city. Construction is expected to commence in 2019, with a budget of approximately $5.4 million.
