Aitken Place Park is at the heart of Toronto’s East Bayfront Community – an area transformed from an underutilized industrial brownfield into a vibrant waterfront neighborhood. Flanked by the residential development to the west and the commercial buildings to the north, the park’s water’s edge location creates a unique destination that invites residents, tourists, and visitors to engage with the lake regardless of season. Through extensive and ongoing consultations with residents, community groups, and private and public stakeholders, Aitken Place was designed to offer amenities that engage the community, reflect the site heritage, and provide a safe and enjoyable opportunity to connect with nature in a dynamic urban setting. Aitken Place Park is a cocoon nestled in a lushly planted frame, as the topography draws upon our natural instinct to ascend, perch, peer, and play in this retreat overlooking the lake.
