Torontoplane spottershave reason to be excited, as The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) is set to builda viewing platformfor those who like to observe all the intriguing activity at the airport. The observation area will be a feature of the new Danville Park, which will be located at the corner ofKennedy Road and Courtneypark Drive.

There is a bit of a catch, though. That park is located about four kilometres away from the airport, which means that it will not be an ideal location to take photos of planes landing, which is one of the chief interests of folks who make their way up to the airport right now. Based on its elevation of 25 metres, however, it will offer an excellent view of the airport.

Right now, plane spotters are forced to take in the action from Derry, Dixie and Airport roads as well asConvair Drive. It can be tricky to park in these areas, and there's no dedicated observation areas, which can be challenging for casual viewers.

The final design and name of the platform will be revealed in November.
