Harbour Square Park is a park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada right on the Toronto harbour. It is next to the Harbour Square condos, the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and the Westin Harbour Castle. It is south of Queens Quay and adjacent to the Queens Quay streetcar station. It contains a boardwalk^[1] and a permanent public art installation.

History

The park opened as part of a planned 85 million dollar waterfront project started in 1964, and completed in the early 1970s at the cost of 250 million dollars^[2] that would also see the Bay Street shipping slip filled, the Harbour Castle Hilton and Harbour Square condos built.^[3] The park is where the ferry terminal used to be before it was shifted to the east side of the park for this redevelopment. This complex and park, a predecessor to the Harbourfront project (today Harbourfront Centre), was one of the first redevelopments of the waterfront, after its deindustrialization. The Park was designed by Fleisher Ridout Partnership Inc., Landscape Architects.

Development of the site was governed by a tripartite agreement between Campeau Corporation, the Toronto Harbour Commission and the City of Toronto. The development evoked "vociferous" criticism, based on size and isolation of the water's edge.^[4]

In 2014, trees were planted in memory of the victims of the Khojaly massacre.^[5]

Public art

The Sundial Folly is a concrete sphere that you can go inside, and was created by John Fung and Paul Figueiredo and installed in 1995.^[6]

Location

The park is located near the foot of Bay Street, just south of Queens Quay.^[1]

Division with remainder of integers This article is about division of integers. For polynomials, see Euclidean division of polynomials. For other domains, see Euclidean domain. 17 is divided into 3 groups of 5, with 2 as leftover. Here, the dividend is 17, the divisor is 3, the quotient is 5, and the remainder is 2 (which is strictly smaller than the divisor 3), or more symbolically, 17 = (3 × 5) + 2. In arithmetic, Euclidean division – or division with remainder – is the process of ...
