There is actually a huge amount of potential park space right in the area - so much so that it could almost rival Victoria Park if properly utilized. This forum thinks parking lots are bad, but wait until you learn what a cemetery is.
Thinking that private developers should be responsible for providing public recreation space is lol...??? Public parks should be a public responsibility. But like many things, they try to push the burden on the private sector. You want to build a 58 floor skyscraper with apartments? Okay, how many affordable housing units will there be? 2? Sounds great. Oh, a patch of grass with 2 benches and a shrub? Amazing, no need to have the City of Kitchener parks planners do any work!
