Plans include "new kayak and canoe launches, lakeside pools and open water swimming opportunities, a floating restaurant" and more, says Waterfront Toronto CEO George Zegarac in a press release.
A briefing for the project also includes plans for a floating dock with concessions.
The Parliament Slip is located east of Sugar Beach and Sherbourne Common near the Distillery District, according to a map shared by Waterfront Toronto.
It's part of a bigger vision to enhance all of the city's lakefront destinations and improve accessibility between them, with a goal of "re-orienting the city towards the lake."
Also coming soon to the east end is the Leslie Slip Lookout Park, another waterfront destination with a beach being built in the Port Lands. It will even have a lookout tower for soaking up skyline views.
This park is one of three exciting developments in the works around Toronto.
Plans to transform Yonge Street into a pedestrian-friendly hub have officially been approved. Plans for the new Villiers Island have also been announced, which include space for housing, restaurants and parks.
