I think we may need squirrels too. Can't wait to see this realized.

I wonder if they'll throw in some more mature trees in the new additions, or if all will be young saplings?

I can see the park from my condo window and they have added tree protection around some of the bigger trees. I would assume that means they will stay and be worked around.

Were there seriously 81 trees in such a small park? That's surprising.

There were lots and they were quite unhealthy - the Friends of Berczy say "The new Berczy Park will require the removal of ill or blighted trees that have been determined to be near the end of their life spans due to poor planting conditions. A City of Toronto arborist tree study in 2013 determined that only 11 of 86 existing trees in Berczy were healthy enough to justify being saved. The new Berczy Park will have 52 trees, including 41 new trees, with most benefiting from the innovative silva cell root system described above, to collect water and allow rapid, healthy growth". Subsequently a couple more have been declared "sick".
 
Man, The Canadian Stage Company needs to power wash its building. It looks like it is oozing diarrhea.
 
Here's what it looked like yesterday at Berczy Park:

Very nice - I wonder if the same firm that manufactured the cast-iron fountain at the Four Seasons responsible for the casting of the fountain/dog sculptures.

Those pallets are all grey granite pavers. They are going to move quickly if they are going to get some areas paved this fall.
