“Erased last week, back today…” – Grange Park Labyrinth – Grange Park – Downtown Toronto

Tuesday February 21, 2023 · HiMY SYeD · 3 min read

Erased last week, back today. It’s kind of amazing how how time and money the city is willing to spend trying to kill the guerrilla labyrinth in Grange Park. I mean, it’s not as though the parks budget is flush pic.twitter.com/AXEy4OVbqB

Well when you drive in from Alliston, the last thing you want to see is an email from a staffer saying, "Sorry, GM of Keeping Grass Green & Rec Centre Waiting Lists, but somebody is colouring outside of our lines again."#TOpoli

Once a #park, #playground or walkway gets characterized as a #municipal "asset" to be "managed", the practice of administrators often becomes reduced to holding the line and maintaining the course, at which point creativity gets flushed.

Creativity can be prioritized. Or not.

did anyone keep a
Please Walk on the Grass
sign

This is the same thing the city dealt with when ford started up his anti graffiti thing and started sandblasting actual works of art…paid for by BIAs…so dumb…use your brain, figure out what makes a city good and what makes it bad…

@McKelvieTO what is happening?!

— George Bell (@georgebell) February 22, 2023

It’s fine, it’s whimsical, it’s educational, it’s everything you’d want in a park!

🤔 Go figure.🙂

When did they originally remove the maze? That was there when I lived nearby 12 years ago

Guerrilla in the sense of unsanctioned. Staff keep having it removed and the public keeps re-painting it

— Oliver Moore (@moore_oliver) February 22, 2023

Cripes that’s stupid. The public obvious like it.

I had no idea it was unofficial!

I'd like to hope that the city's irrational quest to spare no expense to ensure that no unauthorised fun is had will end along with our former mayor.

I suspect it won't. https://t.co/QbeDswxBf3

Why erase it, this is wonderful! Great activity for your mind and I’m sure kids love it! Councillor @ausmalik, how about we have it painted permanently instead of using up resources to keep removing?
