Looks like some moderate grading work will need to be done to tie in the park edge with the alleyway. Not sure if that can happen over winter, meaning these barrier may remain until the spring.

11:15 am today the playground was full. Who knew a downtown playground would bring people and families to city centre, ha. And as I was riding away, another two families of 8 people (very young kids) were just arriving. Already, a need to have a bigger playground area is becoming evident.
So far, the most popular features:
1. The playground.
2. The swings under the light feature (great spot to sit, chill and soak up downtown skyline).
3. The dog park.
4. The fire pit/pavillion area.
I think in summer, the large grass area will be well used, too.

Aight boys, who’s trying to build an ice ramp at the base of the toboggan hill in the winter?

Yes the whole park was full this afternoon, nice to see. There were also peace officers on patrol. One observation: I underestimated how nice it is to have grass downtown. I don't remember when Churchill used to have it, but whether it's for pets, kids playing soccer, or just lying down and relaxing, having a public park with ample grass is really key to enjoyment. It'll be a huge draw.

I stopped by the park AGAIN on my way home at 415pm and it was busiest I've seen. All three basketball courts being used, people in fitness area, playground busy and the grass field had kids playing soccer and all but one of the swings was being used.
So nice to have people downtown just hanging out outside.

And just imagine, it's probably going to keep getting busier as we get more residents and foot traffic around the area.

I could see an ice cream truck doing good business.

Park was still packed at 5 PM at dusk. Lots of kids around and lots of people sitting on the swings under the strawberry aurora aura was lit up. Looks really cool at ground level. The swings are definitely a hit.

Wowza. This is ugly. Can’t wait for the 2030 before/after.
Someone please redevelop the southern parking lot!!
Also, NE corner…what’s the plan there with that dirt lot?

That video made me really understand how much of a game changer this is for the area

Someone (not me) made a Wikipedia article for O-day'min Park here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-day'min_Park
As you can see, it needs a lot of work. One thing it could use is some high quality photos. If any of you are willing to contribute some of your own photos, would you mind uploading them using the Wikimedia Commons upload wizard? If you alert me, I'll add them to the article—or you can do it yourself, if you're willing to figure out the process. I figure the Northern Lights (at night) and the Pavillion (either at night or in the daytime) should be priorities, and possibly an overhead shot of the whole thing.
