Ookwemin Minising* | Waterfront Toronto l Park Open
*Ookwemin Minising, pronounced Oh-kway-min Min-nih-sing, is the new island's (created by the new Don River Valley) name meaning “place of the black cherry trees” in Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwemowin.
Many of the playground features, bike paths and trails of Biidaasige Park, located in the new 98 acre island of the $1.4 Billion Lower Don Lands Revitalization, opened this weekend revealing the stunning transformation of the formerly polluted industrial lands of the Portlands. Already lush from all the plantings crews have done the past few years, the new river valley, ponds and creeks now teaming with life.

The edge of the Keating Channel (the former 90 degree right turn of the Don River into the lake responsible for flooding issues) will be transformed once work begins on the new community planned for the new island.
