Old UT'ers may remember my love for our parks, it's been hell staying out of Queen's Park - but I wanted to experience it once it was done. Alias, I couldn't wait any longer, and I entered yesterday. There's still a lot of fence up, but the improvements are clearly visible. Queen's Park looks and feels like a big city park now. There's tons of places to sit, improved and added walkways, main entrances offer a sense of arrival, dozens of new trees planted, the King Edward VII Equestrian Statue finally gets the respect it deserves with a beautiful podium vs. sitting atop a mound of dirt and the grass looks better, perhaps because it hasn't been walked on for a year. I don't know what's happening with the water feature at the south-west corner of the park, it sits behind a fence, dry and sad looking - I expect removal, we don't do fountains well in this city. All round a huge success. I can't wait until fall to walk through with my dog and enjoy this unique and updated space.
