Yet another piece of the Lansdowne Park puzzle was put in place Friday morning,
as deputy mayor Mark Taylor officially opened the “water plaza” and accompanying
public art installation, promising “another space in this modern urban park
where families and friends can come together to celebrate our community.” And
while it’s difficult to say whether the youngsters and parents and grandparents
who later arrived with the afternoon heat to test drive this splash pad and
sculpture — part of the $4 million spent on public part in the urban park —
were, in fact, celebrating our community, this much was clear: regardless of
their thoughts on the Lansdowne project as a whole, the water plaza received a
pretty uniform thumbs-up from spectators and participants. via
