The first phase of construction will commence with the construction of the underground parking facility between York Quay Centre and Queen’s Quay Terminal. The new underground facility is scheduled for completion in spring 2012. Until then, drivers will not be able to park in the current surface parking lot.

However, there are two convenient parking alternatives:

The lot at Rees Street and Queens Quay West may involve walking a short distance to get to our site, but parking fees go directly to Harbourfront Centre to help fund our incredible year-round programming.

If you require closer access to the site, there is also a parking garage across the street from Harbourfront Centre. (Enter off Simcoe Street.)

The easiest – and greenest – mode of transportation is the TTC. Either the 509 or 510 street car will drop you off at our front door with fast and frequent service.

The York Quay Revitalization Project is a project of Waterfront Toronto and Harbourfront Centre.

Will there be reserved parking locations for mobility challenged individuals?

Unfortunately, there will not be reserved parking spaces for mobility challenged individuals. However, there are two convenient solutions available to assist those under such circumstances:

Customers attending performances at the Enwave Theatre will be able to access the lane way immediately to the east of York Quay Centre to drop off those with mobility challenges right by the venue’s west entrance.

Customers attending performances at the Fleck Dance Theatre will be able to access the lane way immediately to the west of Queen’s Quay Terminal to drop of those with mobility challenges directly outside of the building’s west entrance.

Please note that it is recommended that individuals wishing to use either laneway for transportation contact the Box Office in advance so they can inform Harbourfront Centre Security.
