Mayor Rob Ford embraces new Underpass Park, climbs jungle gym



Children broke into a spontaneous "go mayor, go mayor, go mayor" chant on Thursday as Mayor Rob Ford unexpectedly joined them on the climbing ropes of a jungle gym at the new Underpass Park while wearing a suit and tie.


Ford gyrated to the beat of the chant. As he gingerly returned to the ground, he warned self-deprecatingly of an impending “earthquake.”



Ford’s enthusiastic embrace of the innovative park, which is located under the Eastern Ave. and Richmond/Adelaide overpasses near King and River Sts., marks a shift in his administration’s tone toward Waterfront Toronto, the three-government agency responsible for the park, the Port Lands, and other waterfront development.

Ford was there for a photo op. He wasn't there at the official groundbreaking 5/26/12 only Kelly and McConnell were there from the city along with Flaherty from the Feds and Murray from the Prov.
Shucks the project was envisioned long before Ford was even in officeas mayor. This is a project brought about by Waterfront Toronto (the agency Ford tried to go around last year) and David Miller.

With the concrete falling from the underpass playtime just became more interesting. I hope they teach the kids first aid.
