Developing parks in Lakeview Village

Overview

The City is developing new parks as part of Lakeview Village, a 177-acre mixed-use development on the eastern edge of Mississauga’s waterfront. This project will provide 18.5 hectares (45.73 acres) of new parkland, including:

• Ogden Park, a central open space connection
• Aviator Park and Waterway Common, parkland linkages across Lakeview Village
• Lakeview Square, an urban plaza
• Waterfront Park, connected to the landmark Cultural Pier, extending 350 meters into Lake Ontario

The City is using the Lakeview Village Parks and Pier Final Development Plan May 2023 to design the parks. The drawings in the plan are ideas and the final parks may be different from the drawings.

The new parks will be developed in phases over the next seven years, starting with Waterfront Park.

Expanding the Trans Canada Trail system

The City received a $17 million grant from the Government of Canada’s Active Transportation Fund toward expanding active transportation along the Trans Canada Trail system.

This emerging park completes the waterfront connection for the Trans Canada Trail between Mississauga and Toronto. It links Lakefront Promenade Park to the west and Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area to the east, while providing access to the recreational amenities within the new Waterfront Park.

Waterfront trail and pedestrian bridge environmental assessment

The planned pedestrian bridge from Waterfront Park across the existing channel in Lake Ontario is part of the waterfront trail connection. The City is doing a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) to refine the location of the trail and bridge and assess environmental impacts.

As an important part of the MCEA process, public input is incorporated into the planning and design of this project. You can review the official Lakeview Waterfront Trail notice of study commencement May 2025.

Virtual public information centre

A virtual public information centre (PIC) was held on June 12, 2025 to present the study findings.

Public engagement

The City undertook two stages of public engagement for the Lakeview Village Parks in 2020 and 2021 to understand what features and amenities residents want prioritized and to confirm the Preliminary Park Programming Plan.
