Lack of shade will be a problem here...

When the trees mature, there will be lots of shade. Probably in as little as 10 years, but certainly in 15.

Like Sugar Beach, I like the juxtaposition of the beach and industry.

This will be a good study in the big question dividing urbanists: Do people prefer sun or shade?

Looking great overall, but I’m just wondering if those large gear structures were ever supposed to make the Final Cut? Or were they artistic embellishments for the renders?

They were dropped fairly early on. The sand looks pretty decent - did they go for high quality like they did at Sugar Beach?

Not quite open yet, but a report concerning an interim control by-law headed to the next meeting of TEYCC applies to land that will form a future ~2 acre expansion of this park.
Below, the bolded is the property in question which lies to the immediate south of the newly constructed park:

Looks nice! Some more chairs would be nice. Perhaps closer to the amount at Sugar Beach or HTO Park Beach, but maybe they are waiting to see how popular it is first.

I can always count on you to provide good news! I wI’ll look to see how large this parcel is as it could be bigger than Leslie Lookout.
•.85H or 2.1 acres
•two buildings on-site that will continue to be used for media/arts.

You can always go to the Database box at the top of a page for the address, or click on the title and go to the Database page where there's a map that locates generally within the city. Click on the map, and you get a close-up.
