“Nestled in a thriving neighbourhood, Margaret Fairley Park has a popular wading pool feature with a small Labyrinth mural.” This little park kept its “A” rating in 2016’s Annual Parks Survey conducted by The Annex Gleaner.
City of Labyrinths
Toronto & Vancouver City of Labyrinths is a Project to create public Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian & Vancouverite.
Intended to create safe walking spaces for both play and contemplation.
Labyrinths are placed in parks, public spaces, during neighbourhood street parties or major urban festivals like Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Toronto or Car Free Days in Vancouver.
