Our honest take

Actual chairs make it more comfortable for reading than many waterfront lawns.

There is little shelter, no listed washroom and the route is awkward without a bicycle or car.

Plan the visit

Transit: Cycling is easiest. Bike Share, 50 bike-lock spaces and a repair station are nearby. Surface transit still leaves an industrial last stretch.

Access: The new park has paths, stadium seating, benches and chairs. The City opening notice does not list a public washroom.

Hours and timing: Choose daylight and fair weather. Park operations, events and waterfront work can change access.
