The developer set to construct a massive private spa and waterpark on the West Island of Ontario Place has released updated designs following public criticism of the company’s original plans.
Therme says that in response to those sessions, and with additional input from other stakeholders, they’ve updated their designs to deliver a “year-round family-friendly destination attraction alongside four more acres of public parkland.”
“By making the building smaller, and really increasing the amount of public park that it has, we really think that we're integrating with the public park much more,” Architect Gary McCluskie told CP24 during an interview Tuesday morning. Therme says they’ve changed the design of the proposed structures, creating a “campus-style” building layout. The redesign will also see a total of 16 acres of publicly accessible space on the West Island, more than currently exists there, according to the company.
“We are very pleased with the unveiling of the design for the West Island at Ontario Place,” said MCFN Chief Stacey LaForme in the press release. “This path includes a large new programming space for MCFN to use in traditional ceremonies and other activities.” These updated renderings come as the province continues to push ahead with current plans for the site, despite protest from citizen groups and municipal leaders.
