The presence of diverse waterfront activities and water-oriented facilities is a defining characteristic of the Lake Ontario Park site.
Sailing, canoeing, kayaking, rowing, diving, cruising, windsurfing and kiteboarding all contribute to an extraordinarily distinctive urban waterfront. The Master Plan seeks to preserve these unique qualities that help make the site dynamic, and responsive to the long history of shoreline activities and water-oriented lifestyles. In addition to improvements and relocations of existing boating clubs (see Appendix Section 12.5 and 12.6), new points of waterfront access and activity are proposed in the form of numerous docks, launches and berths around the Marina Peninsula and Ashbridge’s Bay and newly expanded cobble beaches along the North Shore (between the Boat Clubs and Adventure Centre). A broad, waterfront ‘recreation deck’ is proposed along the northern edge of the Marina Peninsula - complete with fish cleaning stations, pedestrian boardwalks and piers, spectator landings and a new waterfront café. A water taxi landing is also proposed to facilitate connections to and from downtown Toronto and the Toronto Islands.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The Master Plan has seven primary objectives for boating in Lake Ontario Park:
1 Create new points of public boating access in the form of public launches, informal landings, training sites and rental facilities;
2 Create opportunities for optimizing water access in a way that best accommodates the specific programs of the various boat clubs;
3 Establish a consistent and clear physical organization of the North Shore Boat Clubs, while preserving the distinctive, atmospheric character of water sports and recreation in a “cottage” setting;
4 Identify opportunities for expanded day-sailing and protected non-motorized boating areas in Ashbridge’s Bay;
5 Identify the feasibility of achieving the desired expansion plans for each of the boat clubs; and
6 Enhance the opportunities for the public to explore and enjoy water-oriented activities.
7 Create an ‘Outer Harbour User Committee’ to regulate and advise on-the-water use throughout the Outer Harbour, and to ensure that safety and the quality of the recreational boating experience is not compromised. This committee might consist of representatives from all clubs whose members use the waters of the Outer Harbour, as well as the Marina users, the TPA, police, park authorities, and WT.
Part 2 Section 12.5
AREA DESCRIPTION The Outer Harbour is a hub of marine activity. The unique qualities of sheltered waters and predictable wind conditions make the Outer Harbour a unique resource favoured by sailors, boaters, windsurfers, kite boarders, rowers and other water sports enthusiasts. The Outer Harbour is currently home to the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation, the Outer Harbour Marina (operated by the Toronto Port Authority) and the Aquatic Park Sailing Club. The Outer Harbour is used almost daily for sailing and rowing lessons, regattas and recreational boating and water sports of all types. The OHSF leases currently extend to the water's edge.
PLANNING OBJECTIVES 1 Create new points of public access along the North Shore. To avoid potential conflicts (during periods of high activity) and to ensure that the ownership, maintenance and insurance of the docks and ramps remain the responsibility of the North Shore Clubs, the public's access to the North Shore will be seasonal and/or limited during the peak boating season of March to November. 2 Create opportunities for optimizing water access in a way that best accommodates the specific programs of the various boat clubs; 3 Establish a consistent and clear organization of the North Shore Boat Clubs, while preserving the distinctive, atmospheric character of water sports and recreation in a "cottage" setting; 4 Future designs for the boat clubs should ensure that the boat clubs maintain their own docks; and 5 When re-located or altered, the boating clubs must be able to continue to operate throughout the planning and construction process. THE OUTER HARBOUR BOAT CLUBS 6 Create an ‘Outer Harbour User Committee' to regulate and advise on-the-water use throughout the Outer Harbour, and to ensure that safety and the quality of the recreational boating experience is not compromised with new uses, new users and new landscape conditions.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION CLUB CURRENT AREA Water Rats: 117,326 ft² (10,900 m²) Hanlan Boat Club: 36,000 ft² (156' X 230') Mooredale: 22,540 ft² (98' X 230') Jamestown: 22,660 ft² (103' X 220') Westwood: 30,030 ft² (136.5' X 220') OHCC: 60,720 ft² (276' X 220') TMCC: 42,370 ft² (190' X 223') GWNDC: 2,200 ft² TWC: 3,462 ft² NOTES 1 The areas are approximate, as the shoreline changes. 2 The boundary between OHCC and TMCC switches in summer and winter. The area above is during summer, during the winter the configuration changes for storage of boats and the space used by TMCC extends to about 250 feet in width. 3 All the clubs require an increased area of 10-20% for future expansion, as they are presently operating at close to full capacity. In the detailed planning, every effort will be made to accommodate this space need.
