Incredible work by a local community group

Thinc design seems to do really interesting work. Check outthe nice corrugated metal shelter and picnic table. And they say they consult with the community they are working with http://thincdesign.ca/?portfolio=withrow-park

Another very interesting design - Northumberland Parkette http://thincdesign.ca/?portfolio=northumberland-park

We can learn something from the community members who built this Dufferin Grove park memorial footpath https://www.facebook.com/jennasfootpath. Its nice to see they had lots of support from their local city councillor, Ana Bailao! https://www.facebook.com/councillorana.bailao/media_set

OK here is one more way to find out about whats up at Watkinson Parkette. Get involved with the park redesign and let Gord Perks know we want a participatory design process, not a shopping cart, would you like a blue or a red plastic playset, experience. This is also a great time to get involved, meet your neighbours and help us come up with activities for the park in all seasons!
