What!? Near Harbourfront Centre? I used to pass that park on the way to work, but I've never known about this. Thanks!
If it's any consolation, I didn't find it while I was there either! It popped up in a random google when I was already home. I don't always like animal figures on playgrounds but I think this lion is very appealing and friendly in appearance. If you go, let me know how the children seem to respond to it.
Fun assignment. I'll head down this weekend.
This reminds me of my favorite sculpture from my childhood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Awakening_(sculpture) It was such a whimsical place for children to play. You could climb to the top of his knee (with the assistance of someone tall) or get in his mouth.
That is some serious concrete craftsmanship... any idea how they did it? This playsite must really allow children to get excited about it and keep going back because of the memorable images of the lion. I bet their imaginations go wild!
