Recently, FORREC took on an exciting exercise where our team envisioned the revitalization and transformation of a public space within the Leslie Slip area. Inspired by the dynamic context of the Port Lands, the area’s flourishing ecosystem, and myriad of economic and recreational services, FORREC designed The Generator as part of a local design competition. Located at the confluence of water, industry, urban agriculture, recreation, and ecology, The Generator provides workers, gardeners, and recreationalists a unique place to rest, play, and explore. This bold park recharges the heart, body, and mind.
Located at the junction of industry, recreation and ecology, The Generator is the hub that activates this dynamic and sustainable public space. It also offers key lessons and insights in what it takes to create an accessible, vibrant, and innovative public outdoor community that honours its past and heritage. The Generator consists of seven key components: The Canopy, Gallery Lookout, Maple Grove, The Pollinator Roof, The Earthworks, Paper Birch Walk, and Swamp White Oak Promenade.
