We've been noticing posters for a neighbourhood party. How I love summertime in the Lower Mainland! It looks like at least a month of fine weather is locked in due to the current high-pressure system overhead. The advertising information relayed that the event was taking place this Saturday at St. Mary's Park. We seldom have reason to walk though that area even though it is only a few blocks from here. We weren't even aware there was a new park. On the way uptown today, we stopped on Agnes Street.
The land was the former site of St. Mary's Hospital. The building was removed years ago but we remember it. A new school and playing field have been built on the grounds. It seems as if on the lower slope there was also room for some playground equipment and a small, new park area. Interestingly, we noted luxurious plants already growing in a number of community garden plots too.
