The provincial government officially submitted its development application for the new Ontario Place and it includes about 12 acres of accessible public space as well as a “family-friendly” attraction.
In a statement, Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma called the application “an exciting milestone” while promising the changes will help bring “Ontario Place back to life.”
The design is being touted as being fully sustainable and accessible and includes 12 acres of freely accessible public space that will be available year round. The public space will surround a building that will be designed to LEED Platinum environmental standard and will act as a “family-friendly attraction” with a wave pool, waterslides and restaurants.
The proposal also includes the creation of a wetland, which Therme says will clean run-off rain water so that clean water is returned to Lake Ontario. Officials will be able to walk through the wetland using a series of boardwalks.
