Maybe they just hopped up from the valley, but given the care that's gone into this park I wouldn't be surprised if some frogs were released by design.

This came up during a recent walk-through (with Pam McConnell). They anticipated that some 'critters' (or their eggs) would be imported along with the aquatic plants and that appears to have occurred.

Good to see they have finally restarted work on the wet side. There was nothing going on there for months.

Checked out the park. This is an exceptionally well designed and executed park. Top grades. Check it out if you get a chance

Agreed, finally got around to checking it out. Another home run for Waterfront Toronto.

Agreed. A large portion appears to be ready for seeding. The webcam is operational again and is also a good resource:

Yes, that's great news but it is odd that WT kept saying that the "dry side" could not be open while work was going in on the 'wet side". Clearly wrong as they have been working on it with no problems! Now to see why Lauren Harris Square is still closed!

Best new park in the city. May it never get turned over to Parks & Rec lest it deteriorate beyond repair like all other parks in their "care."

Well that's your opinion...but, this is for those of us who believe that we ALL have a responsibility to keep our public spaces and parks beautiful, not just those paid to clean up other people's garbage:

Def. check it out

Wanted to check out the park prior to closing up for the winter and for the final completion of the 'wet' side and the prairie planting/seeding.

Was really happy to find the grasses growing already. Can't wait for it to reopen and be complete next year!

Oct 12
