Don't get me wrong, I am glad that the city has finally designated some more land to parks and public use, but this park is a little underwhelming.
The rats. Why are they everywhere?
It's particularly infested next to the off leash dog park and kids playground. That's not safe for animals or people. The city needs deal with that!
Some kind of signage for the bathrooms would be good, and given the population density of the neighborhood, there should be permanently opened ones like at stanly park during the fair weather months.
What is with the lack of trees in parks? This park has wide open feild of dried up grass. Trinity Bellwoods most used areas of the park have shade from trees, nevermind the environmental importance.
Calling it Canoe Landing and putting in some art that I guess could be indigenous is a start, but how about using the park as a place to curate indigenous public art, and educate people on their cultures, and principles? (And pay the artists)
I just think there is much work to be done in this park, and given all the tax dollars those dense communities are giving to the city, why not give them something good like La Fontaine park in Montreal, or our own High Park?

Nobody in recorded history has ever run as many consecutive marathons. Terry died within the year on June 28, 1981. Partly because of the money he raised, and the money the Terry Fox Foundation raises annually with its run, Terry would not only be alive today were he to have the same cancer, but he would also have his leg.
