Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail
The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail is the province's new landmark park.
Previously a parking lot, the park and trail is 7.5 acres of public green space on a spectacular part of Toronto’s waterfront.
The design is inspired by Ontario landscapes and is the culmination of discussions with people from across Ontario, including the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. As a result of public consultation, key features are included in the final design, including a pavilion and washroom facilities.
The Trillium Park and William G. Davis Trail is a first step in transforming Ontario Place into a vibrant, year-round waterfront destination.
William G. Davis Trail
The waterfront trail running through the park is named the William G. Davis Trail, in honour of Bill Davis who was Premier when Ontario Place first opened in 1971.
The trail, with its evergreen trees, creates a natural shelter throughout the park. Three marker trees – a traditional First Nations' way of navigation – are planted along the trail to guide and direct visitors on their journey through the park towards the summit.

Developed in collaboration with the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, the Ravine walls celebrate First Nations’ heritage and culture with the Moccasin Identifier, a visual reminder to recognize and honour the past.
