Many thanks Steve for showing me this ! I repainted the entire Christie Pits Park Wading Pool Labyrinth on the day before the current Stay-at-Home Order went into effect.

“The Christie Pits Spiral, painted in the splash pad. I was early for an appointment, so I indulged myself…” – Wading Pool Labyrinth – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Wednesday March 31, 2021

Quite Grateful to see these images and time lapse video. It shows how ugly it is right now, because of how much the colours haves faded off my Labyrinth painted on the surface of the wading pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto. This suddenly bumps UP which of my Labyrinths will be re-painted first […]

“Dolphin teeth out, ready for a shark attack” – Labyrinth – Wading Pool – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Friday July 31, 2020

I visited the Wading Pool in Christie Pits Park in Toronto the other night. Unlike the kid in this photograph, I wasn’t wearing a Shark T-Shirt. Had brought paint supplies with me to repaint the fading lines like the ones you can ( or cannot! ) see here. Even after sunset, the surface was too […]

“Had my first encounter with the guys in yellow vests in the park. Alex and I were walking the maze that’s painted on the empty concrete wading pool. ‘The amenities are closed.'” – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Wednesday April 15, 2020

It seemed dumb and arbitrary, but probably technically correct. At least it gave the three guys something to do. They mostly stand around in the middle of an empty field in a huddle. — Marni Soupcoff (@soupcoff) April 15, 2020 Here are Toronto bylaw officers at Christie Pits having trouble maintaining social distance while ticketing […]

Sometimes Young Wading Pool staffers turn on the vertical Fountain Geyser atop the Water Pump in the centre of Toronto’s Wading Pools. Some of those wading pools have Labyrinths that I have painted in them. This is Christie Pits Park . . .

“Soaking up summer 😎” – Wading Pool Labyrinth – Christie Pits Park – Toronto

By HiMY SYeD | Published: Sunday August 11, 2019

In the now removed wading pool in Bellevue Square Park, I had painted the concentric circles of that Labyrinth in a wavy twisty style. The idea was to mimic the look of the Labyrinth under water, for when the wading pool was water-free, which was most of the year. It didn’t work out so well […]
