SWP - Central Segment: Meadowcliffe to Grey Abbey; East Segment: Grey Abbey to East Point Park.
Construction of a new waterfront park along the Lake Ontario shoreline from Bluffer's Park to East Point Park in Toronto, Ontario to create a destination park featuring a system of linked scenic landscapes both along the top of the bluffs and at the water's edge integrating shoreline regeneration, public access and safety, and natural heritage. The scope will include destination points for the general public with gathering places and public and washroom buildings. The preferred alternative includes the expansion of the existing beach by approximately 60 metres into Lake Ontario between Bluffers Park and Meadowcliffe. To achieve this Alternative, a headland will be constructed at the Meadowcliffe shoreline and the existing headland at the east end of Bluffers Park will be expanded. This Alternative will include an extension to the existing trail north of the expanded beach to meet Meadowcliffe. TIMELINE:
Capital funding has been approved in the 2022 Capital Budget for Toronto Water for the West Segment, with funds allocated for completion of the environmental assessment

Project has been broken into segments; the Scarborough Bluffs west segment will proceed first, currently in detailed design & will continue into 2024.
The City of Toronto, in consultation with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, will seek senior government support for advancing the phased detailed design and implementation Scarborough Waterfront Project.
Further updates may be available early 2025. The total capital investment for the project is currently estimated to be $170 million, over a 12-year implementation period.
