    This place expensive condominiums are being built and some of them are almost done.The prizes range from 2 million Canadian dollars and it seems some units were already occupied. The builder is Tridel corporation who looks like a reputable company. It is located in downtown Toronto along Queens Quay and Sherbourne.

    We stumbled upon this park during our hike along the Waterfront. The City of Toronto is always doing Reconstruction of the Waterfront. The Sherbourne Common is a combination of art and water-treatment facility.

    Was good view! We celebrated the new 2025 there and watched the fireworks. Fantastic experience in downtown Toronto.

    A gem in the downtown waterfront, cozy and easy to get to but not over crowded. Mini skating rink in the winter and a splash pad in the summer. Love this place

    Really nicely built common area with multi-purposes! The Sherbourne Common South houses a lot of tons of green area for picnics with the south side of the park offering a year-round activity as a splash pad or skating rink pending on the season. It also has a water treatment facility at the pavilion as well and releases it from the three art sculptures located on the north side of the park. Pretty iconic structures! The north side also houses a lot of the playground type facilities like see-saws but also houses the three art sculptures that release out the treated storm water and lake water. The sculptures entitled "Light Showers" are a sight to see at night as they light up at night and motion sensors trigger light patterns!
