Little Norway Park, Public park in Harbourfront, Toronto, Canada
Little Norway Park is a public garden along Toronto's waterfront promenade featuring walking paths, green spaces, and water views throughout the site. The grounds include sports fields, playground equipment, a shallow wading pool, and outdoor fitness stations for various activities.
The site was home to a Norwegian Air Force training base during World War II from 1940 to 1945. This wartime connection remains central to the park's identity and significance today.
A massive stone brought from Norway sits in the park as a gift symbolizing the connection between Norway and Toronto. It serves as a meeting point where visitors learn about the Norwegian roots of this waterfront location.
The park is easy to walk through and has plenty of space for visitors of all ages. The flat terrain makes it simple to explore, and there are several sitting areas where you can rest and enjoy the views.
A significant moment in the park's history occurred in 1987 when a high-ranking Norwegian dignitary traveled to Toronto for the official opening ceremony. This special event marked a formal recognition of the site's Norwegian connections.
