'''Sugar Beach''' is an [[urban beach]] [[park]] in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]], that opened in 2010. It is located across from [[Redpath Sugar Refinery]] in Toronto's eastern [[East Bayfront]]. Like [[HTO Park]] to the west, the beach is not meant to allow wading or swimming in [[Lake Ontario]], but rather functions as a waterfront public space for relaxation, leisure, and social activities. |
|||
The park is designed by Claude Cormier Architectes Paysagistes Incorporated. It features a sandy beach with ornamental lighting, umbrellas, Muskoka chairs, rocky amphitheatre and candy trim, and pedestrian areas paved with granite setts in three colours arranged in a stylized maple leaf motif.<ref>http://randomography.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/artificial-not-fake/</ref> |
|||
==History== |
|||
The park is triangular-shaped and built next to [[Redpath Sugar]]'s refinery at Lower [[Jarvis Street]] and [[Queen's Quay]]—the park's name references the nearby sugar refinery. It shares space with the new home of [[Corus Entertainment]] on [[Corus Quay]] (formerly Jarvis Street Slip). The building and beach are separated by a paved area with benches and trees in Silva Cells, and Corus Quay has large retractable doors that allow the building to host concerts and events at Sugar Beach. Prior to construction, the entire site was a parking lot for the [[Jarvis Street Slip]] and located across from [[The Guvernment]] night club.<ref> |
