About the Project

Infrastructure Ontario (IO) is working with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming on the future redevelopment of Ontario Place.

The first phase of the redevelopment vision was completed in June 2017 with the opening of the 7.5 acre Trillium Park and 1.3 kilometre William G. Davis Trail that has successfully transformed a former parking lot into a new waterfront park.

On January 18, 2019, the Ontario Government announced the beginning of a process for the comprehensive redevelopment of the Ontario Place site.

On May 28, 2019,  the Ontario Government launched a formal Call for Development for the redevelopment. The Call for Development closed on September 24, 2019.

On July 30, 2021 the Ontario Government announced  the next step in a phased, multi-partner approach to the modernization of Ontario Place.

In October 2021, government began the public consultation process, with two virtual public information sessions; and a virtual technical information session. The Environmental Assessment and public realm consultation was launched, in March 2022. Please visit the technical consultation website for the Ontario Place redevelopment project to learn more.

In April 2023, the Ontario Government announced the relocation of the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place. To learn more about the new Ontario Science Centre, please visit the project page.

On October 3, 2024, the Therme Canada lease was made publicly available.

On June 24, 2025, the Ontario Government shared the design for the new Public Realm and Parking Structure at Ontario Place. Once completed the redeveloped Ontario Place will include approximately 50 acres of public park space for everyone to enjoy and is anticipated to have between four and six million visitors a year.
