Trillium Park

[5] In 2012, the province appointed John Tory (who later became mayor of Toronto) to come up with ideas to revive the Ontario Place site.

He recommended "Condos on the west island, a hotel or resort, corporate headquarters or educational research institute on no more than 15 per cent of the prime waterfront site" - ideas that resulted in a public backlash.

About 28,000 shrubs and perennials were planted including highbush cranberry, wild ginger and St. John's Wort.

[7] According to LANDinc, Trillium Park was created as an urban forest providing a natural-looking landscape with native tree and shrub species.

The park consists of trails, rolling landforms, rock outcrops and pebble beaches, and offers views of the city and Lake Ontario.
