Sometimes,
You find sunken treasure when exploring a water filled Wading Pool Labyrinth.
In this case, a sunken scooter !

This time of year, Summer, Wading Pool Labyrinths are more wading pool to keep cool, than they are Labyrinths for walking.
Happy to see my blue painted lines are still visible enough to keep my Labyrinth walkable.
This one is located near the entrance to the Riverdale Farm, in Riverdale Park West in Toronto’s Cabbagetown neighbourhood.
The earlier replies to this tweet assumes Matt meant more Water Fountains.
Understandably, I immediately thought Matt Galloway meant ‘More Labyrinths’ like the one I painted here in this wading pool a few years back…
More of these please. 🏃🏾 pic.twitter.com/9KCgrhFWg5

Ice water temperatures in the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto.
Appreciate these images as I can see how the colours of the concentric circles of my Wading Pool Labyrinth are doing.
The purples are okay, yet the Red ones, which were closer to Orange when last I re-painted them, really needs refreshing.
More work for me when I’m back in T.O.!
And I’m happy to do it!

Another one of my Wading Pool Labyrinths popping up online . . .
This time it’s the one I painted in the tiny wading pool in Geary Avenue Parkette, at the west end of the park at the foot of Deleware Street North, in Toronto.
Many times, I didn’t paint my name into the Labyrinth, but this is one of those times I did.
The darker green circle aglets are holding their colour, yet the lighter green concentric circles of the Labyrinth could use a new brightening coat of re-painting.
…Added to my ever-expanding to-repaint list for my next trip to Toronto!
Some years back in Toronto when I was RE-Painting my Labyrinth in the Wading Pool in the middle of Christie Pits Park, a father of two young boys was surprised to finally meet me.
He had a seven year old and a four year old.
His then four year old had learned to walk by using the lanes of my Labyrinth.
His older brother, who was all of three years old at the time, would spend an hour by himself walking and re-walking and re-walking the Labyrinth.
That hour of parent-free direct attention allowed the dad to focus on his youngest, helping his toddler to learn to walk.
The father told me that they as a family had been walking the Labyrinth almost everyday that they could for the past four years.
I was speechless. I became unusually self-conscious as the Father wanted to snap a photograph of me standing with paintbrush in the Labyrinth.
It was one of the most profound moments during my journey in my City of Labyrinths Project.
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.

A skateboarder once thanked me for the Concentric Circle Arcs comprising my Wading Pool Labyrinth in Christie Pits Park.
He said it helped with depth perception allowing for situation awareness.
I wonder if same holds true for Unicyclists?
The Wading Pool which doubles as Labyrinth triples as an outdoor venue for House Music Performances . . .
The Minotaur Mural!
Forgot all about that one, good to see the colours are still holding up.
