Toronto's first urban beach opened in June 2007 and has been getting rave reviews from Torontonians and tourists alike since.
The park's unique layout, complete with water, islands, gardens, lighting and beach furniture, was selected after the designers won an international design competition held by the city in 2003. HTO is part of Toronto's master plan to revitalize the waterfront.
City officials said they chose the name HTO to reflect hope that the park will being the city and the water together--it's a fusion of H2O, the chemical name for water, and Toronto's abbreviated form.
