I'd bet no other than you even noticed the race or perceived any indications of wealth or even health of the folks in the stock photos. I certainly didn't when I googled images of Toronto parks.
This is the equivalent of pointing to an anonymous picture of east asian people and saying 'look at all those china men!". The only racist statements made here have been by you.

So all poor people are homeless vagrants? Wow. Just wow.
Tewder, I think we'd be best just to ignore AP, she/he has no demonstrated interest in parks discussion. I apologise for calling out the troll comment above, as at the time I couldn't accept that a longstanding UT member would act as such. I was wrong.
So, let's get back to Toronto parks. How about this...what are for favourite statues in our parks? I like King Edward in Queen's Park, with its original history from India.
I love this statue too, it's just too bad the city shows it no respect with regards to the mound of dirt it sits upon. Hopefully this will be addressed with the improvements that are to come, perhaps some beautiful plantings.

Even worse is how we opened a new park in recognition of the Irish famine, and then promptly buried it behind hoardings and fences. Another example of dumb city planning.
Here's a map of Queen's Park statues in the south grounds.

I started this thread back in spring of 2009 and attempted to photograph most parks in the downtown-ish area in response to so many negative posts about our parks. I think I better get myself a VPN or proxy server after reading this
