Is this the skating rink at the Legislature? If so, I have no idea where this is located, or even how many winters it's been around. I haven't seen any signs pointing to this rink. I'll chalk this up to incompetent mismanagement by the province.

It's been operating for decades I believe and is on the south grounds, but yes, little promo.

Am I the only one who finds the new water feature a massive disappointment? It's a letdown even from the unexciting initial renderings. The rocks, which were supposed to be large and imposing, are easy to miss. To have taken such an absolutely stellar park and turn it into this? Yikes...

Let's wait and see, but thus far the old design was far more interesting and 'fun'.

I don’t need to wait. That thing is so lame haha. It’ll get some use of course, but what a drop in vision/design.
Might as well add some painted lines and call it overflow parking…

I agree. We're a winter city, and our outdoor spaces should be designed in a way where we don't spend four-six months every year waiting until the warmer months for said space to be appealing.

You're not the only one. When I saw that photo, my initial thought was "are you kidding me?".

watching the kids play in the old space was so much fun: climbing, jumping, stomping up and down, all things that some risk-averse lawyer types probably figured were too dangerous. sigh... and if they were indeed set on going with safety first, they still could have done so much better.

So much for the Legislature being a destination to go to, I won't be surprised if all that space looks devoid of people from now on.
