Toronto’s first heart-shaped park officially opens

After a handful of delays and setbacks, the transformation of the old Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus bay located at the corner of Avenue Road and Otter Crescent into Heart Park was recently completed.

Coun. Karen Stintz threw a grand opening last month to mark the occasion.

“It’s so rewarding to see it finally completed and opened,” she said. “I think it really just showed how partnerships can come together and make a difference to benefit the community.”

Stintz credited a long list of people with the success of the project, including Post City Magazines’ publisher Lorne London for coming up with the idea, the community for its fundraising efforts, and senior project co-ordinator Alice Wong.
