Biidaasige Park

Biidaasige Park (pronounced "bee-daw-sih-geh" and meaning "sunlight shining toward us" in Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwemowin) is a sweeping greenspace that lines the new mouth of the Don River.

 

Biidaasige Park is the largest park to open in Toronto in a generation and the first public space to open on the new island, Ookwemin Minising. The park was built as part of an innovative approach to flood protection. Through tri-government investment, Port Lands Flood Protection project protects 174 hectares of land in the Port Lands and eastern waterfront from flooding. 
 

The park is opening in two phases. Approximately 50 acres/20 hectares of parkland opened in July, 2025, with an additional 10 acres/4 hectares set to open in 2026, along with the first-in-Canada Lassonde Art Trail.
