[[File:Corktown3-2048x-q60.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Corktown Common in Toronto is a levee designed with sustainable stormwater management, recreation, and biodiversity in mind. The previous brownfield site was a gateway for Don River floodwaters that put 500 acres of the city at risk. A series of trails lined with native vegetative, playground, and splash pad and were built on top of the 13 foot clay levee. A marsh was constructed on the west side of the levee which collects rainwater for park irrigation, conserving up to 145,000 gallons per day (Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc, ND)<ref>Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc.
