Ontario Place is getting a massive renovation.
Doug Ford announced today that new partnerships will help make it a world-class, year-round destination.
The Ontario Premier announced today the transformation of Ontario Place will include three new major attractions.
Ford said the first will be a family-friendly, all-season destination offering something for all ages, including pools, waterslides, botanical spaces to relax, as well as sports performance and recovery services.
Outside people will enjoy more than eight acres of free, publicly accessible gathering spaces, parkland, gardens and beaches.
Meanwhile, Live Nation is redeveloping the existing amphitheatre into a modern, year-round indoor-outdoor live music and performance venue that will attract world-class artists and events.
Protecting the iconic amphitheatre lawns, the new venue will have an expanded capacity of 20,000 in the summer and close to 9,000 in the winter, offering a unique indoor-outdoor experience with operable exterior walls to accommodate events, rain or shine.
Finally an affordable, all-season adventure park for all ages will also be built.
The new, environmentally friendly attraction will include aerial obstacle courses, net-based aerial adventures, ziplines, climbing walls, escape rooms and many other activities.
Ford said the redevelopment is expected to create over 3,600 construction jobs and staff positions once the attractions open to the public, with approximately five million visitors expected annually.
Construction is set to start in 2024.
