Can't be a coincidence that directly in front of this shed there's a break in the rink boards...If you look at the space immediately north of the pavilion in summer and winter shots, the latter shows a shed, containing an object that appears to be be shaped like a Zamboni machine and a ramp to the ice. So hopefully that means the ice plant is still present. The quality of the ice is a feature that cannot be missed here. If this is gonna be done, do it right.
That space in the corners wasn't really used so this is another check in the box from me. The box on the northside of the pavilion and the Zamboni enclosure in the winter all but confirm there is an ice plant. Wondering who they'll name the Pavilion after? It cannot just stay 'Pavilion'. Too bad we have to wait until 2028. I think they said they won't start work on it until 2027.
Yeah I am really thrilled by this design honestly. We're losing a huge portion of the space to Arts Commons, but gaining an immeasurably more functional space which eliminates any loss. I also just noticed it looks like they're including an offleash area in the northwest corner. Also just loving the small patches of grass around too, just big enough to be useful to chill on and find some shade during an event.
The Pavilion isn't the issue, it is Macleod. The issue is always Macleod. Beltline divided: Macleod. 25th Ave could be so much better but Macleod. Mission Landing is great, accept for Macleod.
I thought the exact same thing.
Couldn’t agree more. Macleod suffocates an unbelievably massive amount of our city centre.
