Ontario Place Map and Brochure (1986 – 2025)
Wrapped around Toronto’s waterfront, Ontario Place sprawls across artificial islands linked by pedestrian bridges, amphitheater lawns, and boardwalks that once framed the city’s weekend escape. The Ontario Place map is essential for tracing how these zones connect—rides and pavilions once filled the West Island, while today’s trails, marina, and Cinesphere cluster define new routes. It helps orient visitors through dining areas near the water taxis, concert stages, and pockets of green that double as show spaces.

Expect bottlenecks by the bridges at sunset, especially when fireworks return. The place still feels like a 1970s dream that never quite left.

In 2025, Ontario Place advanced its major redevelopment plans with the release of finalized designs for a new public realm and parking structure, creating over 50 acres of green space, trails, beaches, event areas, interactive fountains, and an updated marina. Renderings confirmed construction of a new parking garage and the ongoing development of the Therme Canada spa on the West Island.
Additionally, the site hosted the “Lumière: The Art of Light” exhibition, while portions including the marina and West Island remained closed for redevelopment.

FAQ
Does Ontario Place still exist?
Ontario Place still exists as a physical site on Toronto’s waterfront. While much of it is closed for redevelopment, areas like Trillium Park and Budweiser Stage remain open and the property is actively being revitalized for future public use.
Why did they shut down Ontario Place?
Ontario Place was shut down in 2012 due to years of declining attendance and revenue, as well as aging infrastructure needing revitalization. The Ontario government closed most public facilities to redevelop the site into a year-round destination and respond to the need for modernization. Only certain areas, such as the music venue and marina, continued operations following the closure.
Is Ontario Place open to the public?
Ontario Place is partially open to the public during redevelopment. Trillium Park, the William G. Davis Trail, Budweiser Stage for events, and some parking areas remain accessible, while the West Island, marina, and several bridges are closed for construction. Visitors can enter through the Trillium Park entrance via Remembrance Drive and a central gate on Lake Shore Boulevard West.
Are they rebuilding Ontario Place?
Ontario Place in Toronto is being completely redeveloped into a year-round waterfront destination. The rebuilt site will include over 50 acres of free public parks and beaches, a new Ontario Science Centre, Live Nation’s upgraded amphitheatre, and Therme Canada’s spa and waterpark. Construction is set to begin in 2026, with phased openings leading up to 2029.
