Toronto Berczy Park Revitalization | ?m | ?s

[Johnny Au]

Let me chime in. I get much of my Toronto development news here in UT. I am not on any Meta-owned websites nor am I on X (formerly Twitter), However, I am on Reddit (just under many different usernames) and on Wikipedia under my actual name of Johnny Au, which I am famous for.

Regarding videos, it is best to embed YouTube videos as they are viewable without a Google account.

Edit: clarified

Time to revisit, on October 9th, 2024:

The famous fountain, which for Toronto, is a wonderful Cormier legacy piece.

Here, with the sun hitting it just so, in the late afternoon............a rainbow amidst the spray:

Also..........I noticed Claude's trademark burst of colour in the flower display just to the north-east of the fountain.

Below, Salvia in bright colours dominate the pic:

Here, (below) we focus on the Zinnias.

It really is amazing at how a redesign (and it is an excellent one) can TOTALLY transform a space. Pre-Claude this was a squalid barren area inhabited mainly by homeless and pigeons. Now it is almost always busy with 'everyone'. It really is a great place.

That fountain is still absolutely incredible. Hoping for something similar or even grander in front of the Sugar Wharf Phase II

Have the fixed the chips on the dogs? They were looking pretty sad last Time I saw them last summer.

A fountain on that scale would be awesome in Clarence Square too.

They are much loved, if slightly worn. Look at the forest not only at the trees!

We don't don't do maintenance here, haven't you heard?

Entropy of the dogs gives them “character”, no need for Parks to intervene…. /s
