The City of Toronto is recently launched an international design competition for a new park in Liberty Village, representing the City’s continued investment in high-quality design and great public spaces.
The two-stage competition invites landscape architecture and design teams from around the world to reimagine a site located at 34 Hanna Ave. The site currently serves as a parking lot and a temporary pop-up park, before it will be transformed into a vibrant green space for the community.
The first stage of the competition invites teams to submit their team qualifications to the City by Friday, November 28. Eligible design teams will be evaluated based on their qualifications, work experience and design approach to the park site.
From there, five teams will be shortlisted and invited to submit conceptual designs for the new park. Design ideas will be presented to a design jury and the community, alongside feedback from a Community Advisory Committee (CAC), before the winning design by the winning team is selected.
The new park at 34 Hanna Ave. is projected to open to the public in 2028.
More information is available on the City’s webpage for the design competition and new park at 34 Hanna Ave.
Design teams can submit qualifications for the City’s two-stage design competition for the new park by November 28, 2025, at noon. Attend an information session on November 4 at 10 a.m. to learn more about the project. Submit qualifications or register for the information session on the Bid Portal
