In response to public pushback, Therme Group has significantly reduced its Ontario Place spa and waterpark building size, breaking it up into several "campus-style" pavilions.The private developer gearing up to build a sprawling spa and waterpark at Ontario Place revealed updated plans for the site that would see a smaller building structure and more public parkland.
There will also be a new welcome pavilion — a re-designed entry to the West Island that "provides a grand arrival experience for the public, and immediate entry to expanded parkland," Therme says. Although the welcome pavilion will be free and open to all, spa and waterpark pricing will still start at $40.
The path will also feature a new programming space for MCFN to use in traditional ceremonies and activities, including new fire pits that can also be used by the general public. A new gathering area adjacent to the beach will accommodate 3,000 people or more. Therme says the plan is to have the space be a destination with a water feature, a winter skating rink, and amphitheatre seating.
