Yesterday they were finishing the installation of the 'bandshell' lighting. Some strips of LED up the 'arms' and, I think, some from the 'roof''. I look forward to seeing how it looks and have high hopes as their other lighting looks pretty good ; see the under-seat lights' in photo above (Adelaide entrance near Church). It will be interesting to see how Park and Cathedral lights 'interact' too.

Yes! The 'bandshell' lights were all on tonight and you can also see the coloured pattern lighting on the 'piazza" and the white patterns among the trees nearer Adelaide. Looking VERY good.

Look a lot better at night than during the day.

Robert Gourlay is back - at the Adelaide Street entrance. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fleming_Gourlay )

Word on the street (or in the Park) is that the Park will fully-reopen later this week. They were busy today laying sod on the Adelaide Street side where the workers have been parking their trucks etc and they replanted a new tree that had clearly died.

The lighting is subtler than it appears in these pix.

Pavilion is still a bit too heavy-handed even at night.
Also not a particular fan of how its arches essentially come down to the ground in the middle of the stage.

Yes. I walked through the park about an hour ago. It's lovely what was done.

Overall, the park feels "refreshed" and I like the upgrades, ex. the added benches, lighting, stage cover. But the design language is too chunky and contemporary for this particular park, IMO. I would have preferred a modern take on a more traditional design sensibility, something "thinner" and more refined-looking.

Hmmm. I like it. I don'r know what 'language' it speaks but I understand!
