I just wanted you to know that the Perth Dupont Community Garden can be used as an out door public cooling station.

I have turned on the park sprinkler, and inside the garden area, near the train tracks, chairs have been set up in the shade. People can cool off in the sprinkler or use the hose to run a bit of cold water onto their hands or feet, ... what ever they need to do to feel better.

Sounds like a great way to be outside and get cooled off. The Perth Dupont Community Garden is located at the Symington Ave. Playground, which is accessed off of Perth Ave. north of Dupont St. (map).

Some neighbourhood residents are proposing to create an off-leash dog park in the neighbourhood. They are thinking of using the north-west section of the Symington Ave. Playground (between Perth and Symington, north of Dupont and just south of the CP tracks). You can find out more about this proposal and get involved here.
