Kite Fest!

After a long and rainy week, Mother Nature came through for today's Kite Fest with blue skies and a good wind!

Thanks to all who came out! We had a great time seeing everyone, meeting new neighbours and watching the kites ride the breeze.

























We are a GO for today!

No rain in the forecast, and windy midday. We are a GO for Kite Fest! 

See you in the park 12.30-2.30. Don't forget your kite!

Community Cleanup Day

It was a cold morning but thanks to everyone who came out, we got the park cleaned up in record time this morning!

A huge thanks to everyone who participated, including Ward 17 Councillor Cesar Palacio. Special thanks to Frank Ruffolo, Recreation Coordinator, for helping to get the word out about this event and for providing staff and extra volunteers this morning.

Soggy



It's been a long, snowy winter and the park is pretty wet! Can't wait for things to dry up a bit so we can get out here to kick a ball around… Fly a kite… Play catch…

Conditions are perfect...

...for some before-dinner sledding -


...or for going skating! Parks & Rec staff have been busy plowing, shovelling and Zamboniing, and the ice is looking great!



 A huge THANK YOU to Parks & Rec for digging things out after today's heavy snowfall!
