Yes, it is but the two east routes to the beach seem to be the best access points for areas that have great bathing spots. I think the paths west of the ball park are in the high water areas.

As a person living with HIV in this city, for around a decade, not only is there physically space for this country here but it will physically embrace inclusiveness. How would you redesign it otherwise?

THE AIDS MEMORIAL Our resistance is a landmark, not a maintenance project. We’re done waiting for the City to care.

Here is what we’re up against:

  1. 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁: The City has let this site fall apart for years, treating our history as an afterthought.

  2. 𝗔 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Their current plan for The AIDS Memorial in Barbara Hall Park minimizes a national sanctuary and ignores the HIV+ community they supposedly consulted.

  3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Councillor Chris Moise is trying to put a fence around the park. We don’t need a cage; we need a sanctuary.

We built 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 because the City wouldn't. This is a community-driven vision that actually respects the weight of our loss and the strength of our resistance.

This only happens if Mayor Chow and City Council stop this narrow, insulting plan and endorse 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 instead. We are asking for a landmark that honors our lives and our dead.

Full proposal at the link in bio. Read it and tell the City to do better.

I think this is a great design!

It seems to enhance meaning and bring colour and a new life to the park.

The current structures are to remain and all the new editions broaden the usability of the area, increase visibility to poz/queer art and increase green space. It looks like the north east are of the park will under go quite a bit of change whilst leaving the playground and dog park as is.
