SLA and Arcadis revealed their redesign for the David Crombie Park in downtown Toronto. The redesign will preserve the iconic park’s historical character, uniting nature, people, and community.
The linear David Crombie Park spans nearly 10,000 m2 (107,639 sf) across seven blocks—making the revitalization one of the largest open space projects in Toronto over the last decade.
The redesign will preserve features of the existing park by maintaining as much of the structures and materials, such as the retaining concrete walls, minimizing the park’s embodied carbon, trees, and sports courts as possible.
Additionally, the park will feature a main promenade, introduce a new route, new cycle track improvements, streetscape elements, and will connect the park to the wider neighbourhood.
Construction for the park and cycle track is slated to begin in spring 2025 and to be completed in 2026.
