A new website for the design competition will allow Torontonians to explore the design proposals and provide their feedback online.  Visit http://yorkreesparkdesign.ca/ to see the proposals on exhibition. York Street Park and Rees Street Park will be the two newest additions to the Toronto?s growing collection of beautiful and sustainable public spaces along the city?s main waterfront boulevard, Queens Quay.
