Sportlands For Kids - The Plan speed skating; curling; hockey, basketball, net ball; tennis; bocce and lawn Thescope of individual sports itemised in this proposal, while farreaching, is http://www.sportlandsforkids.com/theplan.html
Extractions: The purpose of this document is to set out a proposal for developing a multi-sport recreation zone and park in Toronto's Port Lands and vast waterfront. A preliminary overview which summarises the key points of this concept is set out below. It is proposed that this plan for alternate use of the Port Lands and waterfront is appropriate for a complete feasibility study. As this project is currently at the conceptual stage, all suggestions and input are welcomed. Toronto, the largest municipality in Canada, does not have centrally located fields and venues dedicated to popular amateur land sports. In addition, the city's courses for amateur water sports such as rowing, canoeing, kayaking, and dragon-boating are at capacity and in need of improvement and expansion. A cash infusion to develop, update and face-lift these existing facilities will create a generous network of protected green space and water sport sites throughout the Port Lands and the entire Toronto waterfront. This will include the East and West Beaches of Toronto and west to Etobicoke. The 2008 Olympic Bid proposed the development of the Port Lands into such a multi-sport destination. While development to such a large scale is not practical or feasible, development of fields and facilities for grassroots amateur sport is compatible with waterfront planning and as such achievable.
