Formerly a surface parking lot in a faded industrial area, Canada’s Sugar Beach opened in August 2010 to become Toronto's second urban beach along the City's downtown shoreline. The larger portion of the promenade is paved with interlocking pavers to withstand heavier traffic and loads for delivery and maintenance trucks. Varying colors of pavers were used to create sugar maple leaf mosaics. In addition, Silva Cell infrastructure was placed underneath the permeable paver system in order to provide the necessary room for tree growth. Learn more about the Sugar Beach project here.
