The Lower Don Lands总规划包括了解多伦多的两个主要公园类型。这个大型蜿蜒的滨河公园成为一个新的混合用途街区的核心。 The Lower Don Lands滨河公园是多伦多海口的一个主要的开放性公园,人们的社交活动被认定为是生态的一个重要标志,正如景观设计师所期许的那样,公园景观与社交活动相辅相成:体育活动,皮卡游戏,放风筝,俯瞰内港的景观,慢跑,轮滑,观鸟,散步,沿着较偏僻的路径思考漫步。在每个社区,景观设计师都设计规划了咖啡厅和广场,这为整个公园游玩的人群提供了更多的社交机会。
The Lower Don Lands is a 125 hectare (308 acre) area that runs from East Bayfront (the Parliament Street Slip) east to the Don Roadway and from West Don Lands (the rail corridor) south to the Ship Channel. Waterfront Toronto plans to transform the largely underutilized industrial area into new sustainable parks and communities. The naturalization and shifting of the mouth of the Don River is the centrepiece of the plans for the Lower Don Lands.
In the vision for the park at the heart of this urban estuary, the social program was recognized as important as the ecological one. As designed, the landscape will teem with activity: active sports in the four regulation-size fields, informal pickup games, kite-flying on the mound overlooking the Inner Harbor, jogging and in-line skating on the trails, and bird-watching, strolling, and contemplation along the more secluded paths. Within each neighborhood, the design has planned multiple opportunities for social interaction on broad tree-lined sidewalks, in cafés, in the squares, and during games on the play fields that are tucked in throughout the park. Rock climbing, markets, festivals, and restaurants will energize the impressive colonnade under an elevated expressway that had previously cut the site off from the city, providing a memorable backdrop for a new expression of urban life.
