Sugar Beach

On August 9, 2010, a new Beach magically appeared in Toronto's East Bayfront neighbourhood.

In 2002, Waterfrontoronto held a competition to design a park in a 2 acre space just west of the new Corus Entertainment building.
Where there was once an industrial parking lot with crumbling pavement, there now sits a pure white sandy beach, complete with pink umbrellas and white wooden chairs...
.....add to that a few candy-striped rock outcroppings, and Voila! you have a place for residents and visitors alike to enjoy the sun, the sailboats, and the view.

According to their web site, the park/beach will also have a multi-use pathway cutting through it, that will connect to the Waterfront Trail.


There are 57 trees, 150 chairs and 36 umbrellas in this 8500 metre space that sits alongside the Redpath Sugar Refinery at the foot of Lower Jarvis.
