Kind of crazy not having the LCBO building there.

I guess they expect the trees to just right themselves as they grow, I suppose. Some are leaning away from the sidewalk, other are leaning towards the sidewalk and nothing has been adjusted since I last took photos. I guess it is what it is.

Not much has happened in the last 10 days.
They finished installing the 8 pole lights.
15 new picnic tables…. for next year.
Outdoor work is always getting pushed a year.
Lola is ready to test out the dog park.

More activity on the park.

Park sign?

No power yet.

Love the picnic tables!

The work seems to be moving very slowly - are they in a competition with PFR to see who can drag out a project the longest??

No fountain?

No fountain?

Maybe a drinking fountain.

This is just a temporary park until a permanent one is designed and built, and then left to deteriorate by Toronto Parks and Rec.

One of the funniest posts I've read in some time. Thank you!

...I mean, they're taking a more naturalist approach by leaving those parks to the elements and local fauna for the evolving growth and aesthetics. /s

Or who knows, maybe the "temporary" park will be left in a never ending temporary state because the city will transition it to its legendary approved but unfunded projects list.

Especially if (God forbid), Mr. Status Quo makes a return to his post.

Final paving this week.
Electrical panel installed and probably wired but not powered.
The tall grass was cut recently.
The snow fences were removed, maybe temporarily?

Still not open yet…..I’m assuming they reinstalled the fencing tonight.
They still need pickleball nets and lines. I’m assuming the stones stop the ball vs an outer fence. Hopefully not too windy for the ball and a broom is left on the court for the loose stones.

...now if they could start working on the other half of this. >.<

Wait this is temporary right? Cuz it looks worse than a random suburbian parkette
