The recent development of the landscape around the restored Roundhouse buildings extends the history of this heritage icon out into a public park for visitors and citizens to learn and enjoy. These cultural landscapes are crucial to maintain and assert in order to balance the scale of built-form intensification in a growing downtown, and for the health and welfare benefits of open space for an increasing condominium residential population. The restored railcar turntable and historic outbuildings convey a link to Toronto's history, while providing a treed and green downtown urban park experience.
