Aga Khan Park, Public garden in Toronto, Canada.
Aga Khan Park is a landscaped garden covering the space between and around the Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. Designed by Beirut-based landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic in traditional Persian and Mughal style, it was formally inaugurated by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on 25 May 2015.
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.
Vladimir Djurovic, a landscape architect based in Beirut, designed the park after visiting gardens including Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi. He aimed for a design centred on what visitors feel, smell and hear, keeping spirit, art and nature in harmony. The layout follows Persian and Mughal garden traditions.
Aga Khan Park lies between the Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Museum, so a visit can combine the garden with both buildings. The garden is laid out in the Persian and Mughal manner, with paths that lead through the grounds rather than around them. It was inaugurated on 25 May 2015 by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.
Before settling on the design, Beirut-based landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic toured gardens worldwide, including Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi. He aimed for a layout felt through scent and sound rather than sight alone, keeping spirit, art and nature in balance.
