Yes, another thought would be to put some trees or bushes in front of that big blank wall. It would help a lot.
I realize the space has limitation and challenges, but whoever developed it seems to have given up or maybe their imagination is also limited.

I've always thought it to be a nice little park, makes use of a generally useless space. This little renewal will spruce it up a bit, although I agree, vines would be nice on that big blank wall.

Edmonton just scored $6.7M from Ottawa. These are the 27 projects getting the green light
Alberta's capital will soon have new tennis courts, better outdoor hockey rinks and new patio spaces in Ice District – as part of 27 projects aimed at improving community spaces.
Downtown Business Association – $300,000
Transform two downtown alleyways into community gathering spaces that will host festivals, markets and pop-up patios.

Now we just need a huge mural on that podium wall to elevate this space even further

It's blatantly obvious who should be depicted in such a mural.

Disagree.
Art, not a portrait.

There will be some art/murals on the walls hopefully this year. Stay tuned.

WAY better???
way to soon to conclude that. you’ll need to check back in about 2 years but my guess is it won’t look like this.

The park in and of itself is not good, but this is a significant improvement over the chips that were disgusting, often all over the place and usually half on 104st.
To that I say WAY better.

Happened to be digging through the archives and thought about this thread. Here is how the park looked with a lot more vegetation. Can see construction of both Icon and the Cecil-replacement. July 13, 2007.
