Harbour Square Park, Public park in Harbourfront, Toronto, Canada.
Harbour Square Park is a public green space along Toronto's waterfront, stretching from the water's edge with walking paths and planted areas throughout. The grounds include open areas for sitting, pathways for exploring, and various planted sections that shape the waterfront experience.
The park originated in the 1960s from a major waterfront redevelopment project that converted the former ferry terminal into public green space. This transformation was part of a broader reimagining of how the city used its waterfront.
Trees planted throughout the space serve as memorials to victims of the Khojaly massacre, creating a place of remembrance that connects visitors to international history. This dedication gives the grounds a reflective quality that many people notice while walking through.
The park sits directly next to the Queens Quay streetcar station, and all pathways are designed to be easily navigated throughout the grounds. Visitors will find comfortable walking routes suitable for a leisurely visit on most days.
The grounds feature the Sundial Folly, a walk-through concrete sculpture from the 1990s that serves as both artwork and functioning sundial. This unexpected structure blends architecture with practical design in a playful way.
