Sustainable Development

Downsview Park is designed to support environmental, social and economic sustainability. The vision for the Park is the creation of a recreational space incorporating both expansive open space areas, as well as the repurposing of an inventory of historic aviatio nrelated buildings to create a year-round setting.

Downsview Park is a model development demonstrating sustainable practices in its design, construction, operation and maintenance. It is intended to be a recreational, educational and cultural amenity for all Canadians; diverse, healthy and livable community for its occupants, visitors and neighbours; and an educational demonstration project of international significance.
