I heard about this place last week and decided to check it out today. It´s a fairly recent park, inaugurated last year, as per this article: http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2016/09/lee-lifeson-art-park-opens-north-york

 

Not much to see really, just a small amphitheater, a few sculptures and a mural with Geddy and Alex. Stella and I spent the afternoon there, and she recognized both from the videos I´ve shown her: "is this the Rush?". We enjoyed it, because it´s a part of the city we hadn´t explored yet. A must see for any Rush fan.

Thanks for the photos! Stella is getting so big--I love her asking , "Is this the Rush?" The park looks like a great performance space that the neighborhood is lucky to have!

She´s REALLY big now, and carrying her on my shoulders is a huge effort these days. Her adaptation is going well, she was a bit scared of going to class everyday and not understanding a single word, but she´s learning some keywords that are helping her. I take her to school every day, and she repeats the name of every street car stop. So cute!

Is the graffiti still all over the place? I saw that some punks had defaced the place.

 

No, it was all clean. The mural with Geddy and Al's portrait was intact. I didn't see any signs of vandalism.

Oh good. They must have cleaned it off. Someone had painted what looked like gang signs on the doors.
