  • Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel
    Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel September 23, 2016 4:58 pm | by Julian Mirabelli | 13 Comments Public spaces are taking centre stage in Toronto as of late, as the City is investing millions—and possibly even billions—in bringing world-class public spaces to our expanding metropolis. With the recent completion of celebrated spaces such as Sherbourne Common and Corktown Common, to the soon-to-be-complete revamps of Grange Park and Berczy Park, to the high-profile Under Gardiner and Rail Deck Park projects coming our way, Toronto is poised to become an international leader in public space design. Next up on the docket is a complete overhaul of Moss Park, a highly visible—and highly contentious— park at the corner of Queen and Sherbourne Streets just outside the downtown core. Spearheaded by The 519 and funded by all three levels of government, the Moss Park project—affectionately called More Moss Park—aims to completely redesign the poorly organized plot of land to provide more amenities and better services to its diverse group of users. The proposal includes a brand new building by MJM Architects with sports facilities, gathering spaces, and services, and a completely reconfigured park designed by Dutch landscape architects West 8. Aerial view of the park, looking southwest, image courtesy of the City of Toronto. The concept behind the proposal is one of openness and inclusion, with a host of flexible and multi- purpose programming hoping to cater to the disparate current and future user groups that form the Moss Park community.

PROGRAM FOR REES STREET PARK 8 3.1 Required Design Elements: 8 3.2 Site Opportunities and Constraints 14 3.3 Servicing & infrastructure 18 3 Rees Street Park and Queens Quay, looking southeast, April 2018 4 1. INTRODUCTION Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation Department are sponsoring this six-week design competition to produce bold and innovative park designs for York Street Park and Rees Street Park in the Central Waterfront. Each of these sites will become important elements of the Toronto waterfront’s growing collection of beautiful, sustainable and popular public open spaces along Queens Quay. Five teams representing a range of different landscape design philosophies have been selected to focus on the Rees Street Park site based on the program set out in this Competition Brief. The program consists of nine Required Design Elements identified through community consultation, as well as a number of physical site opportunities and constraints that must be addressed in the design proposals. The design competition will kick off on May 15, 2018 with an all-day orientation session – at which the teams will hear presentations from Waterfront Toronto, government officials, and key stakeholders – and a tour of the site. At the end of June, completed proposals will be put on public exhibition during which time input will be solicited from stakeholders, city staff, and the general public. A jury comprised of distinguished design and arts professionals will receive reports from these groups, and then select a winning proposal to be recommended to Waterfront Toronto and City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation.
