A 6-storey wood frame?

Looks like the beginning of a sculpture, a piece of Art.

Fences are down, at least on Michael Phair Park side. They wanted it partially open in time for Downtown Winterval programming this Saturday.

The play equipment here has a nice consistency in look and theme to O'day-min Park's playground which is another good reason to have the two areas connected through that alley between 105-106st as has been mentioned.

^Yes, both are Monstrum-style playgrounds.

Beaver Hills House Park has now reopened!
There are still a couple of areas that are still under construction such as the washrooms.

The sign with Cree syllabics is also nice. Notice the birds on the polls are from the mural on the retaining wall that was taken down.

Left to be done next year:
- Washrooms
- Climbing wall
- lighting, including string lighting above Michael Phair Park
- public art
- minor electrical for stage

I absolutely love this park -- bird sculpture, kiddies play ground, dry-stacked stone wall, undulating surface, hardscape, landscape, and... most especially the very modern restroom structure -- excellent design!
Edmonton does get nice things!

And I do look forward to the completion elements that @Greenspace delineated.

Lots of people were at the park in the late afternoon because of Winterval. Maybe there was a grand opening by the important people?

^^Grand opening will be in the spring when the park is finished.
