It was Joni Mitchell who sang about paving paradise and putting up a parking
lot. At Lansdowne Park, they’ve done the reverse. Workers have torn up the huge
asphalt parking lot and started replacing it with around 11,000 square metres of
lush, green sod. It’s the great lawn at the centre of the new urban park that is
part of Lansdowne’s re-development. When it’s finished it will be close to the
size of the lawn in front of the Parliament Buildings. via
