Harbourfront

"On the northern shore of Lake Ontario and at the southern edge of the downtown core, Harbourfront is a long stretch of urban lakefront. To top off the beautiful views of the lake, the Harbourfront has parks, trails, breweries, restaurants, community activities, free concerts, and ferry connections to the Toronto Islands. Key spots include the Amsterdam Brewery, HTO Park for some sunbathing, and the famous waterfront “wavedecks.” The wavedecks are a collection of curvy docks that reflect the movement of Lake Ontario and its shores. Each wooden deck is artistic, beautiful, and perfect for lounging on. Harbourfront Centre is the neighborhood’s arts and culture hub and is home to four craft studios: ceramics, glass, metal, and textiles. During the summer the area has free concerts and performances every weekend, and during the winter, do as Canadians do and go for a skate at the Harbourfront’s free open-air ice rink. Finally, Harbourfront is your gateway to the Toronto Islands — hop in a ferry to head there from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and enjoy the spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline from the deck." - MATADOR_NETWORK
