According to
The Atlantic magazine, Sherbourne Common is one of the best new parks in the world.
The new
Waterfront Toronto park, completed this year, was listed in a recent posting on the Americans magazine's
Atlantic Cities site.
According to the compiler of the list, Mark Byrnes, "[T]his former industrial site integrates a neighborhood storm-water treatment facility into its design perfectly."
The park has also just won the 2011
Design Exchange's Gold Award for Landscape Architecture.
The park was designed by
Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg,
The Planning Partnership,
Teeple Architects and
Jill Anholt.
