Yup, it'll be completely fenced off with some pedestrian gates and a vehicular gate for loading. Won't be used as a parking lot.

Pavement is a start for it is clean over a dirt parkade.

I'm curious what else (temporary/semi-permanent) will be installed there? Any furniture? Planters?

 

[Seamusmuldrew]

That’ll be insufferable when it’s hot, glad hockey’s mostly in the winter

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Perfect area though for a street hockey tournament.

Yes, its too nicely paved to be a typical Edmonton parking lot.

In the winter and at night, only time it would be a problem for hockey is in June and believe me a lot of people would happily get burnt to see the Oilers playing in June (Stanley Cup Final).

Kinda sorta... and don't get me wrong, as I am 100% for lit, landscaped, drained and paved, but this also means that this site needs an ROI for this investment and that means this won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Yeah of course, not to say it won't be used, it just won't be pleasant.

Its probably not meant right for the mid day, but earlier or later in the day might be ok, depending on where you are.

A space like this could be used for anything such as three on three winter ice hockey; there are floor hockey for warm durations, 3 on 3 basketball, daily gathering for tai-chi or yoga, small weekend trade shows, daily food trucks and mobile flea markets, fruit stands, and way more if truly ruminate on it. The Key aspect of this space for success is to prevent one demographic from spoiling it for everyone, and everyone taking part as stewardships of this space and making it as most affectively as possible.

^it is a pretty terrible overall feeling there; all of that can be done in Churchill Square and provide a much better experience.

^^^^ Too far away and OEG would have no control over potential events at your proposed location.
