Tour
I took a walking tour of most of the downtown and waterfront areas yesterday.
Amongst other places, I ended up were each of the 3 wave decks, 2 open and 1 under construction.
I have to say, sitting on the bench at the Spadina Wave Deck is a wonderful experience.
The deck itself is nothing amazing to look at. But both the closeness of the water in front of you; but also the sound of the waves underneath you really does have a wonderful calming effect on the soul.
I arrived there via Spadina and have to say, the visual obstruction of the Lake there is awful!
Between the Gardiner at one height, and the slightly lower Lakeshore East (which is elevated @ Spadina) it completely blocks the view of the Lake from Bremner!
If we can't get rid of this section of the Gardiner in the near term, then at least this section of Lakeshore must come down to earth!

As a further note, The Simcoe wave deck railings that run perpendicular to the water are really annoying when you're trying to walk parallel to the water.
Rees deck is fully laid out, but benches/railings still to go in.
