The rest of Sherbourne Common opened this past weekend, including its most distinctive feature, the nation's first water feature that's also a water treatment plant.
The first phase of the new park, Sherbourne Common South, with its waterfront lawn and playground, opened last September. With the addition of the 0.5 hectare northern phase, the park rests on 1.47 hectares and cost a total of $30.6 million.
"It's such an innovative park," says
Waterfront Toronto's interim manager of project communications Bruce Sudds. "If you get a chance, it's worth seeing at night."
The walkway over the water channel is equipped with motion sensors which alters the way the water sculpture by
Jill Anholt, called Light Showers, is lit.
Ontario's Minister of Research and Innovation,
Glen Murray, was at the ceremony.
