Sugar Beach Park draws upon the industrial heritage of the area and its relationship to the neighbouring Redpath Sugar Refinery Museum to create a whimsical urban beach at the water's edge. The park offers a dynamic water feature embedded in a granite maple leaf beside the beach, making cooling off fun for visitors of all ages.
Visitors can while away the afternoon at Sugar Beach Park by reading, playing in the sand, or watching boats on the lake. The park's plaza also offers a dynamic space for public events, making it a versatile destination for all types of gatherings.
Sugar Beach Park features a large candy-striped granite rock outcropping, three grass mounds, and a natural performance space for smaller events. The park's facilities can be available for permit, with rates dependent on facility rating and group category.
In 2011, Sugar Beach Park was awarded the Toronto Urban Design Award of Excellence in the category of Large Places or Neighbourhood Designs. This recognition speaks to the park's innovative design and contribution to the urban landscape.
Sugar Beach Park offers a beautiful and unique experience for visitors all year round. With its industrial heritage, whimsical design, and versatile event spaces, the park is a must-visit destination for those looking to relax, play, and enjoy the beauty of the waterfront.
