NOW Article About Vermont Square Redevelopment

Well, the article in NOW Magazine is balanced, but the headline? "Vermont Squares: How a Neighbourhood's Stereotyping is Keeping a Basketball Court out of Vermont Square."
Seems to me that park redevelopment attracts controversy in our green-space-deprived urban areas unlike any other issue.
But, then, parks are perhaps the only common place in Seaton Village and The Annex where families mingle with seniors and youth. Lightning rod, anyone?
Happy reading,
Vanessa

It's not balanced at all! St Alban's Boys and Girls' Club offers an indoor basketball court and other sports facilities and activities for youth. Vermont Square Park needs redevelopment more where the playground is concerned.
