The Leslie Street Spit, or officially the Outer Harbour East Headland, is a human-made headland in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, extending from the city's east end in a roughly southwesterly direction into Lake Ontario. It is about 5 kilometres (3 mi) long. The Spit is the result of five decades of lakefilling by the Toronto Port Authority. It was conceived as an extension of Toronto Harbour, and has evolved into a largely passive recreation area. Naturalization had not been planned but the process is now actively managed by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority. A large portion of it is classified as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) and it is recognized as an Important Bird Area.

  • A Leslie Street Spit (nome oficial: Outer Harbour East Headland) é uma península artificial, de cinco quilômetros de comprimento, localizada no litoral de Toronto com o Lago Ontário. A Leslie Street Spit foi criado com o intuito de fornecer um quebrar-ondas para a baía do porto da cidade, onde se esperava uma grande expansão, por causa do possível aumento do tráfego de navios após a abertura do , durante o final da década de 1950. A necessidade de expansão do porto de Toronto nunca materializou-se, e Leslie Street Spit passou a servir desde então como uma área verde de Toronto. O trânsito de veículos de combusão não é permitido na península. (pt)
