Location of PARK PARK

Featuring bright pastel colours and totally unique touches, the space looks like an Instagram photoshoot pop-up. 

There’s a picnic table, cellphone charging station, hand warming station, free library, basketball hoop, and skate lines that all aim to bring people to the space during off-seasons. 

The park will be open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and you can even rent it out for a private event.
