Aga Khan Park, Public garden in Toronto, Canada.
Aga Khan Park is a public garden in Toronto that spans approximately 17 acres between the Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Museum. It features formal garden areas, water elements like fountains and reflecting pools, and connecting pathways that guide visitors through different zones.
The site was conceived under the initiative of Aga Khan IV and developed according to designs by Lebanese architect Vladimir Djurovic. The park was officially opened by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in May 2015.
The gardens blend Persian and Mughal design elements with a concept developed by architect Vladimir Djurovic based on global garden traditions. This creates a space where visitors can experience Eastern formal design principles within a Canadian city.
The park is freely accessible and offers plenty of space for walking, photography, and relaxation in a structured environment. Visitors will find it accommodates events and gatherings, creating flexible spaces for various activities.
The park merges traditional Islamic garden design with Canadian landscape elements through geometric layouts and water features. This rare fusion shows how classical Eastern principles are adapted in a modern North American context.
