It would be a cost effective way of idiot proofing it too. Some seem to think it's a swimming/wading pool for them and/or their dogs.

My take, they should dye it just once......sometime soon..........blood red..........and then post large signs......"What do you think happened to the last idiot who meddled w/our pond"

Mystery behind ‘very blue’ water in Toronto pond solved. Here’s what the city says happened - NOW Toronto
Toronto staff are working to fix a park pond after the water was dyed blue, leaving many residents questioning the cause of the altered water.

Spotted today that the pond has been refilled with water, it has that freshly filled clear look for now.

I don't think pond blueing dye will stain at dilute concentrations.

I passed through Love Park today on my walk, so I did a quick study of the trees/vegetation for UT. - Photos taken August 10th, 2024:
First the good news, the vast majority of the trees are reasonably healthy. The Willows are going gangbusters.
But there are some lesser achievers:
This was the only total loss, in the York Street Planting Bed:
In the same bed, this Elm is looking no better than 'Fair'. It's definitely showing signs of stress. Not a goner by any means, but should be monitored and tended.
Now for a good story......the Willows:
This one has added well more than 3ft this year:
Back to the York Street planting bed. I previously expressed some concerns about it......... I maintain those. It was reading quite visually dull today, in mid-summer. Only White Hydrangea was blooming:
As can be seen above, there are also some bare patches and a few weeds, though overall the plant health is good.
But.....there are weeds, and there are weeds:
Above is an already 5ft plus............. Cottonwood Tree that has seeded itself in to the bed. If they didn't want a Cottonwood here, they may want to remove it rather soon, as it will grow to more than 3 storeys in as little as six years, very fast growing species!
****
Finally, I checked in on the Wisteria:
The plants are somewhere in the 6-7ft off the ground range, looking pretty healthy. Be a few more years before they fully dominate the arbor.
