History
Ontario Place Corporation was established by statute in 1972.
In February 2012, the Ontario government announced the partial closure of Ontario Place to move forward with revitalization. At that time, an Advisory Panel was established to advise the government on redevelopment of the site.
On July 31, 2014, the province announced its long-term vision for Ontario Place to transform the site into a year-round, vibrant waterfront destination - building on the site's legacy of innovation, fun and live music.
The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail is the province's new landmark park. Previously a parking lot, the park and trail is 7.5 acres of public green space on a spectacular part of Toronto's waterfront. The design is inspired by Ontario landscapes and is the culmination of discussions with people from across Ontario, including the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. As a result of public consultation, key features are included in the final design, including a pavilion and washroom facilities. The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail is a first step in transforming Ontario Place into a year-round waterfront destination.
