Grange Park reno was incomplete until the recent return of the @HiMYSYeD maze.

Looking south from my (recently repainted) Grange Park Labyrinth towards the CN Tower.
I first painted a a green and yellow Labyrinth on this pavelock brick circle beside the Basketball courts in Christie Pits Park on Thursday June 8 2006.
I’ve repainted it at least once.
Grass has overtaken it.
I don’t know that I will paint it again.
Maybe it’s okay as it is,
A Fading Green and Yellow Ghost Labyrinth . . .
The Toronto Public Labyrinth in Trinity Square Park like I’ve never seen it before!
Were the leaves swept to the edges of the Labyrinth as people walked it?
A meniscus curve of fallen foliage ?
🇨🇦 No seaside vacation for the first time. Ever. For all of us. (Good thing we swam thru late November last year.) Toronto’s wading pools saved us all. Tried, tested and highly recommended for Turkish cities as well. 🇹🇷 Sanırım hayatımız boyunca yaz… https://t.co/pMSFXVQUNH pic.twitter.com/NOataV5pS4

Water is where and when “Wading Pool” meets “Labyrinth”.
Rolling waves of water elevate what my Labyrinths painted upon Toronto’s Wading Pool surfaces can mean.
This video is also just nice to look at and listen to.
Late afternoon shadows fall upon my Roxton Road Labyrinth in Fred Hamilton Playground, Toronto . . .
“Children never Walk a Labyrinth, Children always Run!”
They’ll even run my painted Labyrinth in a Wading Pool full of water!
Alexandra Park in Downtown Toronto . . .
“It used to be the backyard of The Grange House (now part of the AGO).
The timeless feeling to this little park contrasts nicely with the modern blue wall of the AGO on the north side, and the upbeat architecture of the OCAD on the east.
Grange Park includes an old-fashion wading pool, a playground and a permanent Labyrinth drawn on the paved path.”
I recently re-painted my Labyrinth in the Wading Pool in Bellevue Square Park in Kensington Market.
You can also see some of the Design Motifs I also repainted.
The wading pool surface however has become decrepit and no amount of repainting can solve that.
At some point, the park itself will be remade, revitalized.
Unknown if the wading pool will survive at all.
Until then, you can still walk my Labyrinth . . .
