Follow-Up on Cloud Gardens

One of my trusted advisors (husband Henry) suggested that it might be useful to provide more information on some of the places we visit.  The urban park I mentioned deserves a little more attention.  It's called "Cloud Gardens" and you'd never know of it's existence unless you work in the Bay/Adelaide area.  The developers of the Bay Adelaide Centre gave the site to the city of Toronto as part of a deal to allow them to build higher than the official plan limits.  The architect, George Baird, won a Governor General's award for the design of the park.  It really is worth a visit, and although we enjoyed seeing it in April, it would be spectacular in full bloom.  It's between Richmond St. and Temperance, just west of Yonge.  Here's another photo of the park.
Oh, and by the way, we never did get out yesterday.  There was no way those kids were getting dressed.  I had a wicked case of cabin fever and went for a little walk at 8pm.
