Parc Breakwater

A refreshed Breakwater Park and the new Gord Edgar Downie Pier promise a magical encounter with Lake Ontario

Aerial view of Breakwater Park with cameos of new and improved park features

The omnipresent horizon of Lake Ontario unifies diverse park users into a powerful singular experience

Aerial view of the upland beach and pier - a generous water’s edge to make swimming + jumping easy and irresistible

Gord Edgar Downie Pier commemorates the life of this home town hero, Tragically Hip lead, and Great Lakes advocate

Beach tiers bring people to the lake level, achieved by cutting the dockwall and integrating tiebacks into the new steps

Lake Ontario as a giant infinite swimming pool

A laid back oasis, a place to test your abilities, where you can see and be seen

The bridge inflection offers a high vantage lookout, offering uninterrupted sight lines between the beach spaces below

The pier's south side and shade structure give a front row south-facing seat over a long fetch of Lake Ontario

The soul of the beach and pier is the magical and irresistible encounter with the water, universally accessible for all

Immediately popular since opening, the park is designed to be a place where everybody can find their place

The City webcam captures the end-of-summer intensity witnessed during back-to-school season at Queen's University

Breakwater Park - restored as a calm counterpart to the beach + pier, with new path connections to the neighbourhood

The sculpture 'Time', by Rosso Eloul, commissioned in 1973, remains an icon in the revitalized Breakwater Park

An infinite horizon and vanishing points at both ends of the 600m long Breakwater Park promenade showcase vastness

Tiered viewing steps seamlessly integrated into an accessible path allow all abilities to get close to the water

New features - benches, tables, bbqs, lighting, bike racks, mounds and trees, as well as a widened 3.5m promenade

Strategy for an allée of century old trees that included tree removals and new planting, for an enduring vault of green

Engineered erosion protection revetments designed to double as quiet intimate spaces closer to the water

Prix national 2019 | Paysages publics à moyenne échelle conçus par un architecte paysagiste (1 à 5 ha)

Parc Breakwater

Claude Cormier et associés

Le parc Breakwater est un projet en trois parties : la revitalisation d’un parc existant, le réaménagement de l’infrastructure riveraine et l’aménagement d’un terrain vague adjacent comprenant un quai abandonné postindustriel transformé en quai de baignade en eau profonde, une première au Canada. Le parc Breakwater est la promesse d’une rencontre immersive et magique avec le lac Ontario.
