The Raymore Park Sign, December 26, 2012

Copyright © 2012 by Roy Murray, all rights reserved.

This is the sign that greets visitors arriving by car, and on foot from Weston. When I first saw it I was confused by the slogan ‘A city within a park’ as there is an implication that somewhere in this park is a city. If the slogan writers could only have come up with ‘A city within its parks’ it would have made more sense to visitors. The good thing is that the sign gives the address so that people on bikes and those needing emergency services know where they are.

Welcome

This is the first post of an advocacy site for Raymore Park here in Toronto. The idea is to celebrate the good things happening in the park and correct the bad. My focus will be on allowing nature to thrive by protecting the park’s flora and fauna. Since this is (for now) a one-person site, the content will be opinionated and arbitrary. It is hoped that like-minded people will bring their own agendas to the table and join in this effort to help the park be what it is meant to be.
