A Toronto parking lot known for raking in over $1 million per year just gained a colourful addition. The Love Liberty mural by local artist Elise Goodhoofd officially opened on Friday, June 20, to kick off the summer season. The mural was conceived through a Call for Artists from the Liberty Village BIA and the City of Toronto. The new mural reclaims a pocket of the parking lot ahead of plans to transform the ugly expanse of pavement into a public park, first outlined in a 2024 public realm strategy. Future plans will see this plot of land converted into a new park measuring 4,900 square metres, slightly larger than the existing Liberty Village Park a short distance away.
