Went by around 330pm today and counted ~30 kids playing, swinging, rolling, enjoying with that parents and friends; it was incredibly heartwarming to see.

I was by around noon and saw about 15-20 at playground and 5 people and 5 canines at the dog run (wonder what future use at other dog park will be?). A couple of families with kids also playing in the fitness area. Maybe tomorrow there will be zome folks out shooting hoops or on the 11th with warmer weather.

Each fire pit has a button to switch it on
Playground
Off-leash dog run
Vegetation
Exercise facilities - it's not exactly GoodLife Fitness, but the bare basics are there
Wayfinding signage
Basketball court, soon to to be a skating rink when winter hits

I had to use the washroom. The toilet, sink and paper towel dispenser worked wonderfully. The soap dispenser took a while to spit something out, while the hand dryer barely worked.
The 3 fire pits
Bicycle racks - the only ones I've noticed in this park, although there are more in the east end
I really wish they would remove those concrete barriers for easier access to/from The Parks tower
Taking a walk along the south perimeter of the park
Raise your hand if you still want to gaze at that parking lot and the rear end of Boston Pizza

On my way home when I was walking down 102 ave I saw a man struggling with his young son who was screaming at the top of his lungs. So someone appreciated the park but I don’t think it was the dad.

While acknowledging it is new, if the park has that level of foot traffic as the temperature cools, I can only imagine how popular it will be during the summer.

Here's hoping it becomes a real draw to what was a dead zone.
But it's really going to be something special in, call it 3 years from now, once the LRT wraps up, 106/107st work is complete and we have a few more buildings on its urban edges to make it feel more connected and integrated.

Here's hoping, indeed!
This coming winter will be a big test...

Looks excellent! Next time im downtown I will definitely take a look around. Only quibble is the concrete barriers around the perimeter at certain areas, but thats a small fix. Hopefully something that will be addressed.

As long as the sidewalks are properly cleared in the winter, there should be decent positive usage.

Concrete barriers are temporary. Reminder that they still have to do streetscaping at both ends of 107 Street next year.
Security is likely temporary during the week of programming. There will be an attendant at the pavilion all hours that it is open. Every second person that talks to them asks about what they're doing to do about open drug use. They have been given instructions to call the police if there's any issues.
