Sugar Beach, Urban beach at Queens Quay waterfront, Toronto, Canada
Sugar Beach is a 2-acre sandy urban park at the Queens Quay waterfront with pink umbrellas, white Muskoka chairs, and candy-striped rock formations. The space includes paved pedestrian areas, accessible boardwalks, and plenty of seating with views of Lake Ontario and the harbor.
The site was transformed from a parking lot near Jarvis Street Slip through a design by architect Claude Cormier. It opened to the public in August 2010 as part of efforts to reclaim Toronto's waterfront as a community space.
The park serves as a gathering place for waterside movie nights and cultural events, where the community watches films screened on a floating cinema. It has become a venue that brings people together for shared entertainment experiences.
The beach is accessible to everyone, with boardwalks and paved areas designed for easy movement around the space. Visitors can settle into the numerous seating areas and take in the waterfront at their own pace.
The ground features a large granite maple leaf pattern that celebrates Canada's national symbol. Trees were planted with special Silva Cells technology designed to support their growth in the urban setting.
