The City and the Board of Education for the City of Toronto, now the Toronto District School Board, entered into a ground lease dated August 18, 1997, along with a licence agreement and a shared use agreement, following the joint construction of a school, community centre, childcare centre and outdoor play space. The Waterfront School at 627-635 Queens Quay West opened in September 1997. The existing lease, licence and shared use agreements between the City and Toronto District School Board set out the terms for public use, including for the playground area.

Toronto District School Board has developed a Playground Master Plan for the Waterfront School. In July 2024, through MM20.17, City Council authorized the allocation of Section 37 funds to fund the City's contribution to the playground enhancements. The scope covered by the City provides enhancements to the south turf field and includes a new asphalt paved running path, sand jumping pit, goal posts and baseball backstop, storage shed, and new tree planting. The improvements to the play area will provide benefit to the school and the local community through a continued shared use framework. The final design of the playground requires an amendment to the existing lease agreement to include an estimated 260 square meters of additional land adjacent to Eireann Quay.
