Toronto Berczy Park Revitalization | ?m | ?s

[Torontovibe]

This is one of those rare times when it seems like the design and materials are not being compromised to save money. I'm very happy to see that!

And it looks like they brought along a few test doggies to see how it works

It's looking VERY good, and larger than I had expected.

Do they still do Woofstock in the St Lawrence market area? IIRC they moved it. They really need to bring it back and host it in this park.

This thing looks so awesome I'm going to drive in from Scarborough just so my dog (OK, me) can see it in person once it's done........

Great seeing the fountain (mostly) installed - thanks for the photo, @DSC.

Woofstock was moved to the Distillery because Front Street was FAR too small (even though they ran it from Yonge to Jarvis. Berczy is really a TINY park so bringing Woofstock back to it is a non-starter.

Woofstock is at Woodbine Park now

The City have just announced that completion of the Park will now be October 31 with" the new art work, Jacob's Ladder by Luis Jacob, which is currently under fabrication, being installed after the park is completed and open to the public - likely in late 2016 or early 2017. "

A pity but it does look as though it will be worth the wait and fantastic that they are doing Scott Street this year too (at one time it was to be done in 2017. I think that the sidewalks around the Flatiron will all be done 'properly' when Wellington Street East is upgraded NEXT summer. (New watermain, new tracks, wider sidewalks etc)

St. Lawrence is the best neighbourhood in the city.

I didn't notice before but there's cat faces in the fountain that spout water out too.

Interesting. Almost as if the CatFountain™ is divine, holding the sacred bone, and the dogs are worshipping it with gifts of water. Or plotting to steal the bone from the evil cat lord.

Is it Friday yet...

Drat, our plot is Exposed!

Just took these this afternoon and they're already outdated. They're certainly moving fast on this thing.

Looks like those are pugs, actually! If the Pugs were still around, this would be getting one of them.
