A skateboard who makes use of the Christie Pits Wading Pool as a “velodrome” once shared with me how he appreciated the painted lines of my Labyrinth.
It improved Situational Awareness as he boarded round and round in circles having fun . . .
Among my signatures in the Labyrinths I design and make, are empty canvas spaces created in-between the turn-arounds.
Often in those canvas spaces, I draw or chalk or paint a smaller Labyrinth design inside.
In my online and real life Labyrinth journeys, I have only ever encountered two or maybe three instances that someone else had made use of this concept.
So, it’s mine. I call dibs. I claim this.
When you see canvas spaces within Labyrinths in Toronto, Vancouver, and elsewhere in the world where I have made and placed semi-permanent Labyrinths, you’ll know it’s one of mine.
It’s among my design signatures.

This image is good close-up of one of them within my Christie Pits Park Wading Pool Labyrinth in Toronto.
Product Placement inside the Centre of my Christie Pits Park Wading Pool painted Labyrinth . . .
This is a good look at the north-west quadrant of the Labyrinth.
I will really need to re-paint it when I am back in Toronto.
Thankful that I did three coats of paint the last time I repainted, two years ago.
Deeply Appreciative of J Guerrero for creating this Drone Photograph of the Labyrinth I painted in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park in Toronto.
I may have imagined how it might look like from above, yet this photograph reveals so much and is so much more than I had ever seen in my mind’s eye!
Wonderful!
Thank you J. Guerrero!
Bonus Drone Photograph…
The round circle of bricks beside the basketball courts was my Original Labyrinth I painted in Christie Pits Park before painting the Wading Pool Labyrinth seen in the first Instagram image above.

The wading pool is emptied out
The trees have left their leaves about
You wear no coat, but breathe a cloud
In puffs that float, above the crowd
At play in Christie PitsLast night the swings were flipped around
You try to reach them from the ground
Your sister climbs to set them back
While father mimes a heart attack
Brought on at Christie PitsYou snack on fruit and carrot sticks
On cans of pop and peanut mix
You heed the words from all the mums
To feed the birds but not the bums
Who sleep in Christie PitsThe swing is swung, the slide is slid
The climbers climbed, the rides all rid
It’s time to go, you beg to stay
A second NO! You turn and say
Goodbye to Christie Pitsby Heather Emme
