Located on the glistening shores of Lake Ontario, set against the backdrop of North America’s most diverse city, Therme Canada Ontario Place will restore and revitalize the West Island of Ontario Place into a vibrant family-friendly wellbeing oasis that celebrates the heritage of Toronto’s iconic waterfront.
Whether you’re visiting with friends, your family or enjoying some solo time, Therme offers unique wellness amenities for everyone. We have three distinct zones: Play, Relax and Restore. Each zone provides a unique experience that caters to different aspects for your wellbeing- be it invigorating activities or soothing moments of tranquility, ensuring everyone has a fulfilling day at Therme.

Therme Canada Ontario Place will be designed to be enjoyed inside and out. We’re creating nearly 16 acres of freely accessible public parkland with spaces for people to gather and relax, walking trails to explore nature and a new beach to reconnect to the waters of Lake Ontario.

Watch Therme Canada and MCFN: Indigenous Place Keeping at Ontario Place
Since 2019, Therme has been honoured to build a strong and meaningful partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN), the traditional treaty holders of the land at Ontario Place.
In collaboration with our landscape design partners STUDIO tla and Trophic Design, MCFN has played a central role in shaping the new 16-acre, universally accessible public park on the West Island. This marks a fundamental shift—the first time Indigenous placemaking principles have been embedded throughout the design of this site since its inception.
Together, STUDIO tla, Trophic, and MCFN have ensured Indigenous worldviews actively guide plant selection, spatial relationships, and storytelling approaches. These efforts create opportunities for all visitors to learn from and connect with the land’s true history.
This partnership embodies our shared ambition to create a landmark public space that celebrates Ontario’s identity, honours Indigenous culture, and fosters civic pride for future generations.
Toronto’s cultural diversity and stunning waterfront make it the ideal location for Therme Group to make a splash in North America. Until it was shut down over a decade ago, Ontario Place was a place where people could come together to have fun, reconnect with loved ones, enjoy a variety of attractions including amusement park rides, restaurants, and the waterfront. Therme Canada will bring this cherished site back to life with an accessible, urban wellbeing oasis designed for people of all ages to be well and have fun.
Therme Canada’s commitment to revitalize the West Island of Ontario Place.
Therme Canada Ontario Place will generate significant economic activity (direct, indirect and induced) that will provide benefits to both the City of Toronto and the province of Ontario.
In addition to building an all-season wellbeing centre and waterpark, Therme is creating nearly 16 acres of freely accessible public space, shoreline protection, gathering spaces, trails, parkland, gardens and a new beach.
Over the duration of the lease agreement, Therme Canada Ontario Place will provide nearly $2 billion in estimated revenue contributions to the Province and City of Toronto.
The Therme Canada Ontario Place project is estimated to create over 2000 construction-related jobs in Ontario and at least 800 jobs once Therme is open to the public.
When Ontario Place was first built, the islands were created from landfill, using 1960s technologies and what we now know is contaminated soil. Since the West Island was closed in 2012, the conditions have only gotten worse with the shoreline eroding in many places and collapsing in others. Therme Canada is committed to revitalizing the West Island to ensure this iconic destination can be enjoyed by a new generation of Ontarians for many years to come.
Clean, Serene, and Green
Working with partners including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, we’re building even more public space than was previously available - nearly 16 acres on the West Island of Ontario Place to create inviting and completely free public park. Featuring gathering spaces, cozy fire pits, and accessible walking trails, all set against a stunning waterfront backdrop. Whether you’re looking to connect, explore, or simply soak in the views, this beautiful space will be open and accessible to everyone, all year round!
Conservation in mind
At Therme, we believe water has the incredible power to connect us – not just with ourselves, but with the people we hold closest. That’s why we’re creating something special: a brand-new, vibrant public beach with multiple entry points, perfect for everything from invigorating deep-water swims and refreshing cold plunges in winter, to relaxing beach days under the sun. This will be Ontario Place’s very first proper beach and Toronto's first new beach in over a decade.
Platinum Leader
At Therme, we believe that wellbeing should be accessible to all, so we work with our communities to develop water-based programming that helps people of all ages, including children and seniors, connect with the water.
