    Is it *one* of the parks on the Toronto Islands?

    Default Little Norway Park?

    Gen,

    Given that hint, I would guess that the abandoned building is either the Victory Soya Mills Silos or the Canada Malting Silos and I would put my money on the Canada Malting Silos -- so that would make it the Little Norway Park!

    Default Toronto Parks

    @ glc: it is not located on an island

    @ Kestrel: nope!

    @ Mark: you're almost there, and you were right about the Canada Malting Silos. However, this particular park is even closer to the silos than the Little Norway.;-)

    Default Ireland Park

    Gen,

    With enough clues.....

    ....Entitled "Arrival," the sculpture recalls the Irish immigrant, one of 650,000 who fled the Irish Famine of 1845-50. Disease had wiped out the country's staple, potatoes, sentencing more than a million people to death by starvation. He is one of 38,000 who arrived in Toronto (population then 20,000) after a long voyage on the Atlantic, crammed in disease-ridden "coffin ships.".... The sculpture "Arrival" will ultimately be joined by three other famine immigrants a pregnant woman, a child and another man bent over in prayer. Their final home will be Ireland Park, which will open in 2007. The tiny park will reclaim waterfront industrial land at the foot of the Canada Malting silos (symbols of plenty, Kearns notes) at the southeast corner of Bathurst Quay in memory of the famine immigrants.

    That's right!

    @ Mark: could that be Solar One in Boulder City?
