    The east end of Toronto’s Port Lands is a dusty, feral landscape, thick with wild thistles and growling trucks. One block of Leslie Street houses an aggregate yard, a water treatment plant and a supplier of ready-mix concrete. Last week they got an unlikely neighbour. Leslie Lookout Park, which opened Saturday, is a place like no other.

The park is a new and unique multi-use community destination in the Port Lands that includes forested dunes and an artificial beach connecting the public to the water’s edge with views of the entire length of Toronto’s Ship Channel, and a 13.5-metre lookout tower with a west-facing view of the downtown core and a stunning 360-degree view of the Port Lands. This new destination offers opportunities for year-round programming including pop-up events, concerts and public art.
