Toronto Islands, Hanlans Point, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 08

Toronto Islands, Hanlans Point, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 08

Description : Toronto has beautiful islands protecting its natural harbour.
The islands are a mix of public parklands, nature reserves
and wetlands. No private vehicles are permitted on the islands.
Toronto Parks Department is responsible for maintenance
of this unique city of Toronto natural resource.
Islands accessible to the public are reached by public ferry
boats and by private boats crossing Toronto harbour.

In the island parks, the city is far removed and a feeling of
being in the country prevails just a mile offshore from
Toronto,s bustling, exciting and vibrant downtown.

Hanlan,s Point:
The Hanlan family was among the first year-round inhabitants on Toronto Island, settling at Gibraltar Point in 1862. After the islands were transferred from the federal government to the City of Toronto in 1867, Plan D-141 divided the land into lots and allowed cottages, amusement areas and resort hotels to be built. The west side of the island, commonly known as West Point, rapidly became a resort destination for the citizens of Toronto; the first summer cottage community was found here. In 1878, a hotel was built by John Hanlan at the north-west tip of the island and soon after the area became known as Hanlan,s Point.
