^A different view of the park. So much promise.

Where would the people on that long path be walking to or from? I hope it connects to some sort of anchor.

What happened to the orange in the renderings? It somehow disappeared. lol That water element would have been nice too.

I'd call it "Canoe Park".

The rest of Toronto would know the park as "the one down at Cityplace".

Cityplace park

Yesterday I noticed they were testing all the lighting in the park

The should have called it "Pierre Burton Park". It sounds patriotic and he had a well known comment about canoes .

Good idea. Better check on the spelling of his name before we put up the signs though.

Canoe Landing Park should be opening up within the next month or so. During the public meeting last night concerning the aquarium and 'Fairmont' site, Adam Vaughan informed the attendees that all the agreements are in place for the Park and roads around the Park to be conveyed to the City. As it stands, "the lawyers are crossing the t's and dotting the i's". Part of the delay was going through years and years of agreements, documents, reports, etc. to sort out everything like land titles, funding, etc. This all needed to be sorted before the City can assume the Park and roads. The roads need to be in the City's hands to ensure that the Park is accessible all the way around by emergency and utility vehicles. All the required utility services need to be in place and working such as sewers and water flows for fire hydrants. There will be a Railway Lands public meeting coming up in the near future for anyone that wants to hear more about the Park, the pedestrian bridge, and the new (100th) library.

"Snoetry" at Canoe Landing Park

Artist Gregory Alan Elliott turns a 30 metre snow graffiti of a giant penis at Canoe Landing Park into a positive message

what a bunch of stiffs. that's pretty hilarious, and quite frankly, cliche. "is this what our city has come to?" let's thank the toronto star for turning our city into a mormon convention.

never lose your sense of humour toronto!

It could also be seen as a stick shift. Then you'd have a bold message about the relationship of cars and the environment that is being deconstructed. The phallic quality might also connect the message with feminism.

Snow graffiti is not vandalism, it's art!

Still seems a bit odd to me that the first thing a lot of persons of the male persuasion seek to erect from the snow is a penis.

 

[dt_toronto_geek]

It's a perfectly harmless bonding event among small groups of young alpha males. Alcohol is usually involved.

Easy access this weekend:
