I've used this park as part of my training for years now, so I'm not going to be very useful for commenting on the flora and fauna that are slowly reclaiming this pile of reclaimed land (read condo excavation dumping) and turning it back into a wetland and almost a natural environment.
I'm very much enjoying the recent new tarmac that has been added, but the part leading up to the new stuff is in a state of horrible disrepair with humongous potholes.
The weekends are busy unless you're out early. Weekday evenings it's "closed" so hint hint... you know what I mean... say no more, say no more! During the times it's "closed" you'll find mostly the fast folks who appreciate the lack of traffic.
During my last outing I was surprised at seeing some of the wildlife that isn't really all that wild and is extremely out of place in a downtown setting. The animals spotted included rabbits, a beaver, and even a mink! The most recent sighting included a great heron flying overhead so I might just come back with my camera at some point and try to get some stock images.
The only downside of this place: the potholes in the road. Well, I suppose you can include the other park users who are too selfish to even contemplate that there are other people who want to use the park too and it's not ok for them to sprawl out all over the road. But I suppose that's just a gripe against jerks and not the park!
