I got a chance to run the trails this morning, and this is place is truly remarkable. It is instantly one of the most spectacular outdoor spaces in the city. They even have some new fancy garbage and recycle cans, which I know folks on here will appreciate. To anyone involved, congratulations, this is a real achievment. Such a great space.

Timely, Matt Elliott just posted this, which I assume are the bins you're talking about

I wonder if the water fountains are working yet. They were not functional on Friday. I didn't think to check them the rest of the weekend.

Swans.

Alright, eeew, are they really putting in two roads and ruining the vibes with a complex to the south? Way to turn an oasis into a parkette for condo dwelling dog owners

Speaking of which, finally saw the enclosed dog run

Post Storm sediment. I DID notice the edges of some gravel path to have crumbled

They had a lot of people out today picking weeds and doing upkeep.

Did they haul away all the porta-potties?

Is there any before and after documentation pictures. Hopefully someone in the city actually documented the process

I was at a Bob Hope show with my folks in the late 70s when he said this. Audience went nuts. In truth he probably said this everywhere. Some jokes never get old.

Aha! My buddy has been quoting that joke for years, and he always claimed that Ernest Hemingway said it.

Hemingway said something...rather different. As quoted in Mary Dearborn's excellent Hemingway biography, when he started writing for the Star and moved to Toronto he wrote back to - I believe his editor Maxwell Perkins - and said Toronto was "worse than you can imagine". Hemingway absolutely *hated* living here, although, ironically, it was here he would meet one of his best friends, Morley Callaghan, with whom he would have a drunken boxing match in Paris refereed by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Curious! I lived for a couple of years in ‘The Hemingway’ (in the late ‘90’s), a delightful low-rise co-op on the edge of the ravine just north of St Clair on Bathurst. It was full of ‘eclectic’ folks and we’d have floor parties almost monthly. Loved it. One rumour floating around was that one could find hidden bottles of his hooch behind certain walls in his unit where he lived in the 1920’s when he worked for The Star. Wasn’t able to verify :). Sorry, a bit off topic.
 
Are there permanent washroom anywhere in the park? Please tell me there isn't an expectation to bother the local restaurant. I only saw porta potties.
