Corktown Commons

A new park, Corktown Commons, opened this weekend. It's on the former industrial lands just west of the Don River and east of Cherry Street. It's rather nice and is another important step in redeveloping Toronto's industrial east end which started with our neighbourhood 25 years ago.

Yes! And they have built in a fair bit of artificial wetlands. Toronto has lost a lot of natural wetland to development so it's important to keep building more for migratory birds and butterflies.
