It was an interesting experiment, but I think it’s disgusting and a wasted opportunity. It was known mostly as an agricultural area. And I’ll bet whatever building goes in its place would include a public resting space that is cleaner and better maintained than Cloud Gardens. (Indian Mound Crescent at Lawrence and Bellamy) Scarborough is not usually a place that’s associated with Indigenous history. The revenue we could get from selling the space to a developer could help pay down the city’s debt, help alleviate homelessness and/or pay for maintenance in other parks. With buildings of 50+ stories going up all around it, Cloud Gardens, with its garbage and shanty towns, seems to me like a wasted opportunity. While less ambitious than Cloud Gardens, each of these other urban spaces is much cleaner and better maintained. Better urban resting spots are found nearby in all directions, including the great and curious fountain park, sculpture garen, Commerce Court, the cows of the TD towers, the beautiful parkette between wellington and front to the east, Nathan Philip’s Square and the park near Trinity Church. I can’t enter this park without thinking that it is more of an urban eyesore than an urban oasis. The same space could be used for art shows that change on a regular basis, like the nearby sculpture gardens. An art installation along one wall is interesting, but not interesting enough to deserve its permanent installation.

Homeless youngsters always seem to have little shanty towns set up on some of the park’s walkways - at least in the winter months - making it difficult to enjoy. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, ON, Canada AUD Source Full Show Setlist: 1. The park is poorly maintained and there is garbage everywhere, particularly in the park’s interesting watercourse. It is a very unique space, and I appreciate the concept a great deal, but that doesn’t cut it for me.

I am glad that others enjoy cloud gardens, but I really think it’s a waste of an opportunity.
