Connie Langille, of the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association, says she'd like to see few modest improvements to the park, to reverse its 'eyesore' condition.
Residents in a busy downtown neighbourhood say they've been struggling to have a popular parkette cleaned up — but no one seems to be taking responsibility for its upkeep.Connie Langille, of the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association, says she'd like to see a few modest improvements to the park, to reverse its 'eyesore' condition.
Adam Wynne, of the Church-Wellesley BIA, says the small parkette has lots of potential, provided it's properly maintained. The parkette has deteriorated from a lush, well maintained greenspace in 2016 to the dust-bowl it's become lately. The bottom picture was taken in 2021. "Hydro, the city, city councillors, it's just really difficult ," she said. "It looks like it really needs to be cared for, like it's not an orphan."
Although it's been leased by the city as a parkette since 2014, that arrangement ran out last month, according to Hydro One's statement. One regular park user, Shannon Gagnon, says no matter who is in charge, she hopes the parkette is rehabilitated soon.
