Look closely,
You can make out Orange and White painted lines of my Grange Park Labyrinth . . .

The Surface of the Wading Pool remains cracked and decrepit.
The painted colours of my Labyrinth could use a refresh . . .
Christie Pits Park,
Where Labyrinth Walking counts as Daddy Daycare!
Bonus,
This little one is wearing same Red & White stripes which Sarah’s little brother Toby wore in the Jim Henson film Labyrinth.
The surface of the wading pool is cracked and crumbling.
Yet The Labyrinth remains walkable;
And Skateboardable!
“I have been walking the Labyrinths in Trinity-Bellwoods park regularly for years – since they were first put there.
But I have had to watch the neglect and degradation of them to the point where they are no longer walkable.
does anyone know how to get them refreshed?”
There are on my To Re-Paint Labyrinth List.
Street Performers often use my Painted Labyrinths as public stages for their shows…

My Original colours of the Labyrinth in Grange Park were Blue and White with squares of Black.
The Blue was meant to match the Blue of the Giant Wall of the Frank Gehry addition to The Art Gallery of Ontario.
The White and Black was to match the White and Black of the Giant Floating Shoebox in the Sky of the Ontario College of Art and Design.
Both The AGO and OCAD were line of sight when standing in or around my Grange Park Labyrinth.
So the matching colour scheme seemed to reveal itself.
That was Winter and Spring.
It’s now the middle of Summer.
The Green Leaves of the growing trees have naturally veiled the line of sight between the Grange Park Labyrinth and the OCAD Shoebox.
So why not paint the Labyrinth using Orange to match the Giant Plastic Tube Slide on the Playground, which IS still visible, even from a child’s height!
