When I was walking along Dundas Street, in Regent Park, I noticed people in the new park, so I figured it was open early and walked over to take a look. The fences were up with big signs saying danger and no entrance but yet the playground area was full of kids and adults. I figured maybe the playground area was open so I walked around the pool to that area and discovered that it too was fenced off with the no entry signs.
It seems that everyone entered in one area where the fence was moved and since it was full of about 200-400 people, breaking the rules, I figured why not take a look around. I have to say, it looks pretty good and if the crowd there today is any indication, it will be the most crowded park in Toronto. It was quite crazy today, there were kids playing on the construction tractors and jumping in holes. It was actually quite dangerous, with half built structures all around and open pits but none of the dozens of parents seemed to mind.
It's gonna be a madhouse once this place actually opens.
