I look down on Clarence Square, so I definitely see it all the time. It's quite a great space, and I just love the effect of the townhouses lining the north side. Unfortunately, they're all offices so they don't put eyes on the street at night, which would be valuable for such a park. I'd love to see the rest of the square lined with more modern townhomes. It could be a really unique and distinctive space.
Unfortunately the park is rarely used by anyone but dog walkers.
I live nearby Clarence Square, too. I think it has a lot of potential, but the park itself desperately needs to be resodded. I'm not sure who owns the adjacent parking lots to the south east, but it would be a great place for residential townhomes. Hopefully a condo development there (and next to the Spy Films building) will pour some money into the park.
It might take a while for anything to be built to the south, because there are some huge NIMBYs living in the Apex condos who don't want their views blocked.
