Facts and practical information

Polson Pier, previously known as The Docks Waterfront Entertainment Complex, is a multi-purpose entertainment complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the largely industrial Port Lands area of the city along the waterfront of Toronto Harbour. The site is also home to an amusement area, with facilities for swimming, beach volleyball, and a driving range. Until 2019, the site was also the only place in downtown Toronto to have go-karts which has since closed permanently after failing to renew its contract from the landlord and Polson Pier. ()
