Welcome to Ontario’s landmark waterfront park.<\/h2>\n

The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail is 7.5 acres of public green space on a spectacular part of Toronto’s waterfront. Previously a parking lot, it’s now full of life, ready to be enjoyed by morning joggers, picnic-goers, strolling families and everyone in between.<\/p>\n

The 1.3 kilometre trail is named in honour of Bill Davis, who was the Premier when Ontario Place first opened in 1971. It’s surrounded by native trees, plants, flowers and beautiful sedimentary rocks and boulders. Inspired by the Ontario landscape itself, the park was designed in consultation with people from across Ontario, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation<\/a>. It’s a breathtaking tribute to our province and a gift to the people who love it.<\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation<\/a>, the Ravine walls celebrate First Nations’ heritage and culture with the moccasin identifier engraved into the stone, a visual reminder to recognize and honour the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
