Middle of August 2022,
Wading in the Wading Pool Labyrinth
In Christie Pits Park, Toronto . . .
The Wading Pool inside Budapest Park,
Immediately north of the Sunnyside Boardwalk,
Opposite the east side of Sunnyside Pool,
Is normally filled with water every day throughout the summer.
Yet this past Sunday and again today, Civic Holiday Monday, it remained dry,
Offering the chance to easily walk my Octagon Labyrinth water-free.
For the rest of the summer during daytime hours,
You can still experience walking the Labyrinth in ankle deep water which is fun too.
“A playground within walking distance of a bike park, an ice cream stand, a beach, an outdoor pool, and High Park?
This might be your best bet for a beach staycation.”
Heatwave in Toronto happening now.
Why not cool down by walking the Wading Pool Labyrinth in Budapest Park along the Sunnyside Boardwalk ?
Find the water then start at the Heart !
This Wading Pool inside Ed McCleverty Equal Access Playground,
On east side of Ted Reeve Arena,
is where you will find & can walk my
“East Toronto Labyrinth”.
Colours have faded somewhat
Yet,
It remains very walkable!
With or without water!

Ice Cream !

When the Fred Hamilton Playground Wading Pool is dry,
Which nowadays because it’s summer means evenings and overnight,
Lines of my Roxton Road Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool remain visible,
Meaning this Wading Pool Labyrinth remains walkable…
For now.
Another one of my Labyrinths painted on the surface of a Wading Pool, this time in Eglinton Park, that needs its fading arcs to be repainted.
I need to better balance my Labyrinth re-painting regimen.
Looks like I need to repaint the Red quadrant of the Medicine Wheel I painted inside one of the Labyrinth’s open canvas spaces last September…
Today is National Indigenous People’s Day 2022.
Video walk around of my Medicine Wheel Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool inside Phin Park, in East End Toronto / Tsí Tkaròn:to.
I haven’t been able to return with enough time and energy to repaint this fading Medicine Wheel Labyrinth.
Hopefully, InshAllah, I can refresh all the colours in time for Orange Shirt Day on Friday September 30 2022.
“This is the large Labyrinth in the wading pool at Christie Pits park,
Created by Labyrinth artist, HïMY SYeD.
This wading pool was part of his vision of transforming Toronto into a City of Labyrinths.
I love this one,
Because he’s also painted smaller Labyrinths (as seen here) inside the larger Labyrinth.❤”
