Perched at the blunt end of the Ship Channel, this park makes a virtue of its still active industrial port location, giving visitors a chance to watch Great Lakes freighters unload cargo from its sandy beach. In this nighttime image, crushed stone pours out from the Algoma Compass onto a pile at Strada Aggregates, no doubt feeding Toronto&#8217;s insatiable growth. Behind, the smokestack of the Hearn Generating Station looms overhead.<\/p>\n<p><imgx class=\"image-display_default\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59400\/59400-188367.jpg\" data-entity-uuid=\"insert-display_default-daaf4039-0c5e-4cc1-b4d2-1b6a43f2ad84\" data-entity-type=\"file\" alt=\"Crushed stone is unloaded from the Algoma Compass at Strada Aggregates in Toronto's Port Lands\" title=\"Crushed stone is unloaded from the Algoma Compass at Strada Aggregates in Toronto's Port Lands, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor NW87\" onclick=\"photo('https:\/\/cdn.skyrisecities.com\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/articles\/2025\/09\/59400\/59400-188367.jpg', true, 'Crushed stone is unloaded from the Algoma Compass at Strada Aggregates in Toronto's Port Lands, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor NW87'); return false;\"><span class=\"image-description\">Crushed stone is unloaded from the Algoma Compass at Strada Aggregates in Toronto&#8217;s Port Lands, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor NW87<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This image comes to us courtesy of UrbanToronto Forum contributor <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/forum\/threads\/leslie-lookout-park-createto-ccxa.31976\/post-2278151\" target=\"_blank\">NW87<\/a>.
