Barbara Ann Scott Park (College Park) - May 10, 2009
Located between Yonge & Bay, north of Gerrard Street nestled behind College Park this is a great space which needs a re-thinking, and some TLC on the water feature. Note that these were taken May 10th and the water feature hadn't yet been cleaned for the season or activated.
A good deal of the park space was lost when the RoCP towers & town homes were built. Despite my personal dislike of the RoCP project I do like how the town homes fit into the park setting as opposed to facing a noisy Bay Street which is how it used to be. You'll notice a nice mix of deciduous and coniferous trees here too. I believe that when (if) Aura is built funds have been allocated from the project that will go into revitalizing this park. Otherwise, it's a relatively quite and relaxing place to sit and enjoy a warm afternoon with a book or to people watch.
