Love that final photo of the dog and cat getting along. Thanks for the great photos @skycandy .

Great photos!! And the dogs are using the drinking ditch at the base of the fountain as intended!

I hadn't noticed that! Neither has my dog. She's been sticking her face in the jets.

The cat staring at the bird sculptures is an amazing little detail. I love public designs that build in a lot of discoverability and delight.

I love kids more than anything in this world, but please, keep off the dogs!
People (some parents) are disgusting. It's only a matter of time before the dogs are damaged.

If they break that easy then it's a design/engineering flaw. How can anybody not expect kids to climb on them?

 

[smably]

Seriously, they're made of cast metal. Worst case the finish gets chipped, but that's going to happen whether or not the tots climb on them.

I'd think they expected kids to want to ride the ones around the fountain - they're bigger for a reason I suppose.

Perhaps you are right. We rarely get nice things in Toronto. I just wish we can enjoy them for as long as possible.

I hope someone dresses these dogs up for halloween (non-destructively, of course).

This call for some fluorescent dye in the water and blacklights.

For heaven's sake man. They are MEANT to be played on. You might as well worry at why the fountain pool is not fenced off to avoid someone (or some dog) drowning.

To be fair, it's out of concern for the conditions of the space - it's good to see a sense of concern and ownership even if the solution is off mark -people don't care about what they don't see as important.

Is the cat on the reflective utility box at the southwest corner of the park actually looking at anything, like its companion on the fountain is? The best I could figure is it's fascinated by L-Tower...

Probably also wondering when the damn thing will be finished.
