It's at 9:30am and there will be free Hurts Donuts and a Spaghetti Eddie concert.

Looks like they have all the plantings in now and the work is pretty much complete.

I've noticed they many people do not use the sidewalks to get from the parking to the gym. That is probably due to the design... I predict a dead-grass pathway.

Parks people call these "outlaw paths" and indicate the need for additional sidewalks.

Is that the main door?

Hey, but it looks great on Google Maps ;)

Is that the main door?

There is one on the south, but yes.

seems like the sidewalks on the south side might lead to a door, weird to do it that way if not the main entrance, but also weird to put the parking on the opposite side if the south entrance is where you intended folks to go.

There were some really good basketball players that used to go to the gym back in the day. I don't know how it is these days but the gym used to be pretty full of basketball players daily.

Too many architects seem to only care about how things look in a photo, not how it functions.

Yeah, seems to be an obvious mistake in hindsight. While the meandering trails and sidewalks are nice, and should stay, there should have always been direct connections to the building's entrances.

Also like how, Pete pointed this out, the Parks Department recognizes the need of sidewalks because of these "outlaw paths". Pete, does that mean there is some mechanism that allows them to address that need?

I can't tell the exact scale of this, but it a) looks huge and b) looks awesome! I love. It!

This is cool. But looks really enticing to climb.

That was my first thought, as well!
