…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/06/28/reflections-11-water-water-everywhere-85/
I never tire of walking through Col. Sam Smith Park and now that summer is officially here the paths and walkways are particularly busy with walkers, runners and cyclists. Sometimes I like to veer off onto the many beaches throughout the park and find a log to sit on and just enjoy the shoreline.
What a fabulous place, Carol 👏 It’s easy to see why you enjoy visiting so much 😃

Thanks Jez. This place didn’t always exist. The city started filling in the Lake with dirt and construction debris to build this amazing naturalized space. A lot of Toronto’s waterfront was created with landfill.

What a great way to use construction debris; making beauty out of waste 😃

Most of Toronto’s waterfront is built on landfill that has been going on for the last 100 years. The expansion in the last 30 years has been largely parkland and marinas.

I’m so lucky Aletta to live so close to this park and the Lake is at the end of my street about 100 metres from my house.
