Ontario Place, Water park on Lake Ontario waterfront in Toronto, Canada
Ontario Place is a recreation complex along Lake Ontario's waterfront in Toronto featuring water slides, pools, and landscaped gardens. The facility includes play areas, picnic zones, event spaces, and connects directly to the lakeshore for visitors to enjoy.
The complex opened in 1971 as a provincial initiative to showcase Ontario through innovative design and recreation. It has since become a established summer destination for families and hosts various cultural events and concerts.
The name Ontario Place reflects its purpose of celebrating the province's identity and culture through recreational spaces. Today, families and groups gather here to enjoy water activities and outdoor entertainment throughout the summer season.
The location is easily accessible by public transportation with regular buses from downtown Toronto, or by car with dedicated parking available. Summer months offer the best experience when all water attractions are in full operation.
The complex houses the Cinesphere, Canada's first permanent IMAX theater with a distinctive spherical screen. This architectural feature remains an unusual sight among film venues across North America.
