Some good news for a few of our local parks from our Ward 18 city councillor, Ana Bailao, in her June 23 newsletter:

Ana on Parks

In Toronto's urban environment, public park space acts as an oasis of grass, trees and plant-life that provide play, walk and enjoy. These public spaces are more than simple greenery, offering a wide assortment of services and programming to the neighbourhood community.

From Michael Monastyrsky. Please note that this affects services and events at Campbell and other parks too.

Tuesday June 21, 7 to 9 pm, with Councillor Ana Bailao. At the park clubhouse. Bake-oven supper available from 6 p.m. Everyone welcome!

On Tuesday June 14, more than 100 people came to Campbell Park for a community dinner and campfire. During the evening, many people asked park staff if dinners like this could become a regular event. Campbell staff would like to see that happen, but a lot will depend on decisions made at City Hall.

Campbell Park - Soup on the Campfire: Yes, it's a photo from last winter, but I promise there will be no snow this time.

The following announcement comes from Michael Monastyrskyj, regarding the updated kitchen facilities and June 14th campfire at Campbell Park:

Hello everybody,

Thanks to strong support from ward 18 councillor Ana Bailao and her executive assistant Braden Root-McCaig, Campbell Park's rinkhouse/clubhouse has a new kitchen with sinks, running water and a stove. This lets us expand our menu at the winter snackbar and cook food for community events.

To celebrate the new kitchen, Campbell staff would like to invite everybody to a dinner and campfire at the park. Come join us 6:30-10pm Tuesday June 14. We will be a serving a main dish for a suggested donation of $5 and desert for $1. We ask for the donation to cover costs, but we don't want anyone to go away hungry. Give as much or as little as you like. After dinner, roast marshmallows over the fire. And if you have a guitar, bring it along!

Michael Monastyrskyj writes:

Campbell rink (255 Campbell Av, west of Lansdowne, south of Dupont) is having a youth shinny tournament and anyone between the ages of 10-14 (ID showing age required) is invited to participate. (Don't have your own skates? We can lend you some. Please let us know ahead of time.)

The tournament will take place at Campbell on Saturday February 19. from 11am to 4:30pm.

Meet new friends by signing up as an individual or as a team with your old friends. Participants will need to wear a helmet but if you don't have one, we have some at the rink.

From Michael:

Pleasure skating is doing well at Campbell rink. We are getting steady numbers for our Saturday, Sunday and Monday pleasure skating periods. This Friday January 28 from 6 to 9pm, partly as an experiment, we will be holding a special evening pleasure skating event, with campfire and music. We would like to invite everybody to come out to skate and drink hot chocolate by the fire. Pleasure skating is a great way to meet your neigbhours while getting some easy-paced outdoor exercise.

The skating season at Campbell Park starts today, Saturday December 4, and goes until February 27, 2011.

Although Campbell Park's ice rink is mostly used for hockey, there is a growing demand for pleasure skating time. This year, a new pleasure skating session has been added to the Saturday afternoon schedule, from 4-6PM.

Saturday Schedule:

• 10:00am – 4:00pm All Ages Hockey
• 4:00pm – 6:00pm Pleasure Skating (no hockey)
• 6:00pm - 9:00pm All Ages Hockey

The complete skating schedule is available here on Campbell Park's website.

Further discussion and details about this year's skating season can be found here.

The 2010-2011 outdoor ice skating season at Campbell Park kicks off on Saturday December 4th. There is a scheduled mix of shinny, pleasure skating, and paid-use times.

With the growing success of the family-oriented pleasure skating sessions and feedback from the community, a new 2-hour pleasure skating time slot has been added to this year's schedule: Saturdays from 4-6PM, Sundays from 1-3PM, and Mondays after school 3:30-5:30PM.
