Yes I totally agree, the actual building is crap, but as I said the location is great. Moving it nearby (like the temporary tent) makes sense; but moving it so far away from the neighbourhood is a bit of a disservice to the area. But you do bring up a could-have-been-a-great-idea with the...

It's actually quite busy IMHO. The problem is that it's not very visible and welcoming as you say; they put the children area on the street front, which also means no front door there. It's definitely old - and there's a prevailing smell that never goes away - but I think the geographic...

Wow, I hope they have a good reason to block off a big chunk of the park now. Were they afraid they wouldn't be able to dig/build the foundation in Feb/March?

Love the picnic tables!

Ah yes, snow plows - that makes sense to not have bollards. In an ideal world we'd have retractable bollards for city vehicles, but that's definitely too $$ for us.

Dumb question, couldn't bollard(s) be placed in key places to stop cars from entering the path entirely?

I love that they were future thinking and put the steel beams in place first, but my goodness, I hope they are prioritizing getting funding to finish the boardwalk. Leaving something half finished for years is just sad (and ugly).
