Sherbourne Park
Sherbourne Park will be a spectacular new park in the heart of the East Bayfront midway between the Jarvis and Parliament Street slips. It will be both a local and regional amenity. The park will extend from the water’s edge to Lake Shore Boulevard, bisected by Queens Quay. It is envisioned as an urban room and will provide a strong terminus at the foot of Sherbourne Street. On the east and west sides, the park will be bound by buildings with a weather protected arcade creating a link to the waterfront during all seasons. At its southern end the park will be integrated with the continuous water’s edge promenade and will be designed to reinforce and strengthen the water’s edge as a continuous and active year round destination. Park programming could include a large public gathering place and a water feature that could be frozen in the winter for skating.
