Make a stop along the future Ontario Line

Get to know the vibrant neighbourhoods connecting Toronto’s next subway line

Nov 7, 2025

The future Ontario Line is more than just a subway project — it will also build connections to some of Toronto's most vibrant communities.

These seven neighbourhoods along the future subway line, each offering unique blends of history and culture, are worth exploring for both locals and visitors alike. From bustling markets to serene parks, there's something for everyone.

As we work to build the southern part of the Ontario Line beneath the streets of downtown Toronto, from Liberty Village in the west to Corktown in the east, we invite you to make a stop and visit these dynamic neighbourhoods today.

Liberty Village

You’ll find Liberty Village at the west end of the subway line, close to the future Exhibition Station. Once a busy industrial area thanks to its proximity to two rail lines, this west Toronto neighbourhood is now a tech and creative industry hub — and home to a bustling mix of restored industrial buildings and modern condos. Visitors can explore over 60 restaurants, great boutiques and free events like the Live at Liberty music series.

On the south side of Exhibition Station, Exhibition Place hosts conventions and events like the The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, One of a Kind Show, and Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). You can also catch some of your favourite sports teams — including the Toronto FC, Toronto Argonauts and Toronto Marlies — playing at BMO Field and Coca-Cola Coliseum, both located on the Exhibition grounds.

The Entertainment District

Adjacent to the future King-Bathurst Station, the Entertainment District is well-known for its vibrant entertainment and nightlife offerings. But you’ll also want to explore the neighbourhood’s cool new hotels, award-winning restaurants and trendy shops. On your next stop, be sure to check out The Well, the pedestrian-first shopping complex at the corner of Front Street West and Spadina Avenue, and grab a bite at the buzzy Waterworks Food Hall.

Queen West

Queen Street West, the area around the future Queen-Spadina Station, is a shopper's paradise and also one of Vogue’s “coolest neighbourhoods in the world.” Known for its eclectic vintage shops and fashionable boutiques, as well as an exciting food scene, this downtown neighbourhood is also home to one of Toronto’s most colourful attractions — Graffiti Alley, where you can see street art and murals by artists like SKAM, uber5000 and ELICSER.

The Financial District

Surrounding the future Osgoode Station, Toronto’s Financial District is where you will find some of Toronto's most iconic architectural landmarks, including the Beaux-Arts style Canada Life Building and the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe-designed Toronto-Dominion Centre. In the neighbourhood, you can also visit the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts for a world-class opera or ballet performance.

The Financial District is also intrinsically connected to the 30-kilometre underground PATH network, where you’ll find over 1,100 restaurants, retailers, and businesses.

Downtown Yonge Street

The future Queen Station will drop riders off at Downtown Yonge Street, a busy neighbourhood with Sakofa Square at its heart — the space regularly hosts community-based festivals, concerts and public art events. Nearby, shoppers can explore CF Toronto Eaton Centre, the busiest shopping mall in all of North America, welcomes 48 million visitors each year. Downtown Yonge Street is also home to a melting pot of cultural and culinary attractions, including the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre, a National Historic Site and world’s last operating double-decker theatre.

Moss Park

A residential neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, Moss Park is home to several community centres and parks offering a variety of recreational activities, including Moss Park Arena and the John Innes Community Recreation Centre. Nearby, Allan Gardens Conservatory’s five greenhouses draw in visitors keen to see unusual cacti and succulents, seasonal flower shows, and lush displays of orchids and bromeliads.

The future Ontario Line Moss Park Station will be located on Queen Street East between Jarvis and Sherbourne Streets.

Corktown

Named after the Irish immigrants from County Cork who were its first residents, Corktown is an eclectic and quickly-changing neighbourhood where you’ll find modern condos alongside Victorian rowhouses and historic buildings. The family-friendly, 18-acre Corktown Common features playground areas and a splash pad, and Underpass Park offers plenty of public art as well as a skatepark.  

Corktown Station will also make it easier for you to visit the nearby Distillery District, home to over 40 boutiques and multiple seasonal festivals and events.
