Chalked a Classic Labyrinth with random sized lane widths in Devonian Park, Vancouver.

The spot is a crossroads of sorts, with cyclists, roller-bladers, walkers and joggers all passing through it.

But I didn’t realize that before I began chalking.

It’s a very people-busy thoroughfare, opposite of ideal for meditative, nor playful, Labyrinth walking.

Labyrinth running…?

Maybe if one is quick, so people passing through won’t bump into you.

Still, two brothers riding their bikes, decided to stop cycling, drop their wheels, then decided to rush in, out, then through the Labyrinth a number of times, all as I was about to leave for the evening.

This is really cool!

A timelapse of two children, one, Miguel, stays in the centre while the other walks out from the centre of my Chalk Labyrinth in MacLean Park.

I had re-chalked this particular East Vancouver Labyrinth just the day before, on Wednesday morning.

It’s Care-Free Weekend in North Vancouver! Just found out about it at the last minute and found my way there… Very much a Pedestrian Sundays Vibe with a GIANT Waterslide running downhill. Found an empty intersection and chalked a late-in-the-day Labyrinth.

Vancouver’s Chinatown Festival takes over a number of streets in the city’s Downtown East Side each summer.

It’s a full weekend of programming, and I spent the early part of Saturday Afternoon soaking it all it before deciding to pull out the chalk.

I found the children’s area and took over an unclaimed spot beside a big bouncy castle kind of thing that you fill up with air and little kids, well, walk and go bouncing through.

Chalked a simple Five Lane Labyrinth, including a spelling error(!), then I waited. And Waited. And waited some more. In the shade of course, another HOT day. Yet, no Labyrinth Walkers.

Exploring East Vancouver, I walked far enough east along Hastings Avenue, passing Boundary Road and wound up in Burnaby.

Exploring side streets introduced me to Confederation Park. It’s huge and Multi-Purpose.

Found an empty spot of asphalt in the middle of a playground. Took my time with measurements and the result was a nice 11 Lane Chalk Labyrinth.

Was told it’s an Italian Neighbourhood, however seven children from two French speaking families kept hanging around me whilst I was making the Labyrinth.

Initially felt this was a Francophone neighbourhood. Not unlike the feeling I got when hanging out Vanier, the French speaking pocket of Ottawa.

It was HOT today, I am so thankful for working water fountains, both to re-hydrate and to wash my post-chalk-Labyrinth-making powdered hands.

Kids kept asking if this was the only day I was here to make the Labyrinth. “Yeah”, I told them. That answer made them sad.

Now I have to go back… and maybe next time I’ll bring along some paint and a brush or two.
