Little Norway Park is a small park in the Harbourfront area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the southwest corner of Bathurst Street and Queen's Quay West. The park is just north of the Western Channel into Toronto Harbour.〔(Aerial view of the Western Channel and Billy Bishop airport ), Accessed 2012-10-09.〕 It was opened in 1986. ==History== The name of the park commemorates Little Norway, the exiled Royal Norwegian Air Force training base that had occupied the site during the Second World War. In 1976, a 3,000 pound boulder from Norway was transported to the location to serve as a permanent monument to that time. It was unveiled by Crown Prince Harald of Norway on September 18, 1976. The base's location was cleared and in the 1980s, an apartment complex was built along the western side. The rest of the former base was converted into a park and opened in 1986. The park was officially dedicated ''Little Norway Park'' in December 1987, in a ceremony featuring King Olav V of Norway.
